Fetal position is one of the factors that determine the method of birth for pregnant mothers. Determining fetal position is very important in the last weeks of pregnancy or a few days before birth.

Fetal presentation is the presentation of the fetus in front of the upper waist (mother's pelvis), through which the fetus will enter and progress during labor and birth. A favorable fetal presentation is the most ideal condition to help the mother have an easy birth.

Breech position is when the baby's head is facing up towards the chest, and the baby's bottom is facing down towards the mother's pelvis. Breech position is very dangerous for both mother and baby, can cause death to the fetus and increase the risk of complications for the mother.

The fetal position is the lowest part of the fetus in front of the mother's pelvis, the first part of the baby's body to come out of the mother's body during labor. The position of the fetus is one of the decisive factors in choosing a birth method for pregnant women. So how is the pregnancy, will have to have a cesarean section?

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.

Fetal position is an important factor in determining whether a mother will give birth naturally or by cesarean section, which is the baby's position relative to the mother's cervix. In the case of a head-first baby (favorable fetal position), the mother can give birth naturally.

Transverse fetal position is rare but is a complicated and dangerous case. Pregnant women with transverse fetal position will have difficulty giving birth and 100% of transverse fetal positions will be assigned a cesarean section because there is no mechanism to deliver transversely through the vagina.
