📘 Full
Explanation:
🔹
Fetal Presentation means:
The part of the baby that is first felt or seen during labor
at the pelvic brim.
✅ Cephalic
Presentation (Head-first):
·
Most
common (seen in about 96–97%
of normal deliveries).
·
The head
of the fetus comes out first.
·
Ideal for vaginal
delivery with least
complications.
·
Specifically, the vertex position (head-down with chin tucked) is
the most favorable.
❌ Why
Other Options Are Incorrect:
·
A)
Breech presentation:
❌ Baby’s buttocks or feet come first.
👉 Occurs in 3–4%
of cases. Risky, may require C-section.
·
B)
Transverse lie:
❌ Baby lies sideways in the womb.
👉 Rare, not suitable for vaginal delivery. Needs C-section.
·
D)
Shoulder presentation:
❌ Shoulder comes first.
👉 Abnormal, occurs in transverse
lie, requires C-section.
🧠Tip for Exams:
Always remember:
Cephalic presentation =
Normal and most common.
Breech/Shoulder/Transverse
= Abnormal presentations.
✅ Final Answer:
Cephalic
presentation is the most common and safest fetal position
during normal delivery.
