Where is the Baby?

Your doctor may determine your baby's position by feeling around your abdomen using her hands. If there is any doubt about the position, an ultrasound may be used for verification. The most common presentation is "head first" or vertex. If the baby is in a position other than vertex, you and your OB may discuss other means of delivering the baby. Here are the positions your baby might take inside your womb.

Cephalic
Also referred to as "vertex" or "head-first" presentation
Frank Breech
Buttocks first
Both legs are positioned close to the face
Footling Breech
One or both the baby's feet are presented first
Transverse
The baby is lying sideways inside the uterus
