A favorable fetal position will help the birth process go smoothly. However, not all pregnant mothers are lucky enough to have a favorable fetal position. Breech and shoulder fetal positions put pregnant mothers at high risk of cesarean section.

Shoulder presentation is a rare and unfavorable fetal position and can only be delivered vaginally when conditions permit. Therefore, most doctors recommend that women with transverse presentation choose a cesarean section to ensure the safety of both mother and baby.

Complex fetal positions require close monitoring during the last 3 months of pregnancy. In the last month, the pregnant woman needs to rest to avoid premature rupture of membranes, which can cause fetal death. Normal delivery in complex fetal positions can only occur when the fetus is very small or has been retained.

When examining the fetus, every pregnant mother must know about the position of the fetus, especially in the last months of pregnancy. But to know the meaning of the position of the fetus during labor and delivery, not every mother knows. The position of the fetus is one of the factors to predict the birth and monitor the labor and delivery process is very important.

Transverse fetal position, also known as shoulder or oblique fetal position, is a condition in which the fetus does not lie along the vertical axis but lies horizontally in the mother's womb. This is a position that is not favorable for the mother to give birth, and is considered an abnormal fetal position and dangerous for both mother and child. So at what week should a transverse fetal position be performed by cesarean section?
