051 Face Presentation

from True Birth · host Dr. Yaakov Abdelhak & Kristin Mallon, CNM, MS, RNC-OB

Face presentation is when the baby's face is presenting through the cervix first. Normally, the baby's head is flexed so that the chin tucked.  Non-head down positions (including breech, transverse lie, face, brow, and compound presentations) do happen too are account for less than 4% babys at term. When the baby is coming out face first, the baby's head and neck are hyperextended creating a more difficult and sometimes impossible birth.    To connect with us, Find us on: www.truebirthpodcast.com Maternal Resources Social Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/maternalresourceshackensack |nstagram: @maternalresources Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, & Stitcher and leave a review!
