Cephalic presentation in hindi ( शिशु की मस्तक प्रस्तुति हिंदी में )

Cephalic presentation in hindi – सेफेलिक प्रेजेंटेशन क्या है

Cephalic presentation in hindi : सेफेलिक प्रस्तुति का मतलब होता है जब गर्भवती महिला का अल्ट्रासाउंड होता है तो उस समय बच्चे के मस्तक की स्तिथि कैसी है।

Cephalic presentation in hindi

जब बच्चे का सिर नीचे की तरफ होता है उसे हम हेड डाउन पोजिशन भी कहते हैं तो उस स्थिति को सबसे श्रेष्ठ स्थिति माना जाता है नॉर्मल डिलीवरी के लिए। वैसे तो नॉर्मल डिलीवरी दूसरी स्थितियों में भी हो जाती है लेकिन लगभग 95% जो नॉर्मल डिलीवरी होती है वह सारी सेफेलिक पोजीशन ( Cephalic presentation ) में ही होती है। इसीलिए सेफेलिक पोजिशन सबसे बेस्ट पोजीशन मानी जाती है नॉर्मल डिलीवरी के लिए।

सेफेलिक प्रेजेंटेशन  बनती कैसे है – how is cephalic presentation formed.

गर्भावस्था के समय बच्चों की ज्यादातर पोजीशन सेफेलिक होती है। स्थिति में शिशु के मस्तक की स्थिति नीचे की ओर आ जाती है और ऐसा इसलिए होता है क्योंकि बच्चे का सर भारी होता है और गुरुत्वाकर्षण बल के कारण वह नीचे की ओर आ जाता है। जब डिलीवरी का समय आता है जब बच्चा पूरी तरह से बन जाता है तब बच्चे के सिर का वजन भारी हो जाता है जिसकी वजह से वह नीचे की ओर आ जाता है।

किन स्तिथियों में सेफेलिक प्रेजेंटेशन नही बनती

  • जुडवा बच्चों के समय पर – जब भी किसी गर्भवती महिला को जुड़वा बच्चे होने वाले होते हैं उस समय बच्चा पेट के अंदर सही तरह से घूम नहीं पता है और सेफेलिक पोजिशन की स्थिति में नहीं आ पाता है।
  • उच्च एमनियोटिक द्रव ( high amniotic fluid ) – गर्भावस्था के समय बच्चे का एमनियोटिक तरल पदार्थ इतना ज्यादा हो जाता है जिसकी वजह से पेट के अंदर बच्चा घूम नहीं पता है और वह सेफेलिक पोजिशन की स्थिति में नहीं आ पाता है।
  • एक से अधिक डिलीवरी – जब भी किसी महिला की प्रेगनेंसी एक या दो बार हो चुकी है या गर्भधारण होकर खराब हो गया है और अब वह दोबारा से प्रेग्नेंट हुई है तो बार बार प्रेग्नेंट होने की वजह से भी सेफेलिक पोजीशन ( Cephalic position) आने में दिक्कत आती है। बार-बार प्रेग्नेंट होने से मांसपेशियां ढीली हो जाती है जिसकी वजह से सेफेलिक पोजिशन ( Cephalic presentation) बनने में दिक्कत आती है।

शिशु का सिर नीचे की ओर होने पर डिलीवरी कितने दिन बाद होती है?

ज्यादातर गर्भवती महिलाओं के जो बच्चे होते हैं वह आठवें महीने के अंत तक या नवे महीने के शुरुआत में सेफेलिक पोजीशन में आ जाते हैं। इसका मतलब यह है कि 33 वे सप्ताह से लेकर 38 वें सप्ताह तक बच्चा अपना सिर नीचे की ओर कर लेता है जिसकी वजह से नॉर्मल डिलीवरी आसानी से हो जाती है और जिसे सेफेलिक पोजीशन भी कहा जाता है।

लेकिन कुछ बच्चों की स्थिति ऐसी भी होती है जो इस समय तक भी अपना सिर नीचे नहीं कर पाते हैं फिर यह होता है कि जब 38 वा सप्ताह भी बीत जाता है तब बहुत कम मौके होते हैं कि बच्चा अब अपना सिर नीचे की ओर कर पाएगा। तो इस स्थिति में फिर डॉक्टर ऑपरेशन करके डिलीवरी करते हैं जिसे सिजेरियन डिलीवरी भी कहा जाता है।

जैसे ही बच्चे का सिर नीचे की ओर आता है वैसे ही बच्चेदानी के मुंह पर दबाव पढ़ना शुरू हो जाता है जिसकी वजह से म्यूकस प्लग बाहर निकलने लगता है। म्यूकस प्लग एक घाड़ा डिस्चार्ज होता है जो पूरे 9 महीने तक बच्चों को बाहरी कीटाणुओं से बचा के रखता है। जैसे ही बच्चों का सिर नीचे की तरफ होता है वैसे ही म्यूकस प्लग महिलाओं के प्राइवेट पार्ट से बाहर निकलने लगता है।

जब म्यूकस प्लग थोड़ा-थोड़ा करके गर्भवती महिलाओं के प्राइवेट पार्ट से बाहर निकलने लगता है उसे समय बच्चेदानी का मुंह भी थोड़ा-थोड़ा खुलने लगता है। जैसे ही बच्चा धीरे-धीरे करके नीचे की ओर खिसकता है या प्राइवेट पार्ट में रास्ता बनाता है बाहर आने के लिए फिर गर्भवती महिलाओं को दर्द महसूस होता है और नॉर्मल डिलीवरी हो जाती है। इस प्रक्रिया में सामान्य 15 से 20 दोनों का समय लग जाता।

जब बच्चा अपना सिर नीचे की ओर कर लेता है उसके बाद 15 से 20 दिनों के अंदर नॉर्मल डिलीवरी हो जाती है। ज्यादातर महिलाओं की डिलीवरी 15 से 20 दिनों के अंदर हो ही जाती है। जब नवे महीने में अल्ट्रासाउंड होता है तब अगर बच्चे का सिर नीचे की ओर होता है तो अल्ट्रासाउंड रिपोर्ट में सेफेलिक पोजीशन लिखा हुआ आता है जिसका मतलब होता है नॉर्मल डिलीवरी होने वाली है।

Fetal Presentation, Position, and Lie (Including Breech Presentation)

  • Key Points |

Abnormal fetal lie or presentation may occur due to fetal size, fetal anomalies, uterine structural abnormalities, multiple gestation, or other factors. Diagnosis is by examination or ultrasonography. Management is with physical maneuvers to reposition the fetus, operative vaginal delivery , or cesarean delivery .

Terms that describe the fetus in relation to the uterus, cervix, and maternal pelvis are

Fetal presentation: Fetal part that overlies the maternal pelvic inlet; vertex (cephalic), face, brow, breech, shoulder, funic (umbilical cord), or compound (more than one part, eg, shoulder and hand)

Fetal position: Relation of the presenting part to an anatomic axis; for transverse presentation, occiput anterior, occiput posterior, occiput transverse

Fetal lie: Relation of the fetus to the long axis of the uterus; longitudinal, oblique, or transverse

Normal fetal lie is longitudinal, normal presentation is vertex, and occiput anterior is the most common position.

Abnormal fetal lie, presentation, or position may occur with

Fetopelvic disproportion (fetus too large for the pelvic inlet)

Fetal congenital anomalies

Uterine structural abnormalities (eg, fibroids, synechiae)

Multiple gestation

Several common types of abnormal lie or presentation are discussed here.

hindi meaning of fetal presentation

Transverse lie

Fetal position is transverse, with the fetal long axis oblique or perpendicular rather than parallel to the maternal long axis. Transverse lie is often accompanied by shoulder presentation, which requires cesarean delivery.

Breech presentation

There are several types of breech presentation.

Frank breech: The fetal hips are flexed, and the knees extended (pike position).

Complete breech: The fetus seems to be sitting with hips and knees flexed.

Single or double footling presentation: One or both legs are completely extended and present before the buttocks.

Types of breech presentations

Breech presentation makes delivery difficult ,primarily because the presenting part is a poor dilating wedge. Having a poor dilating wedge can lead to incomplete cervical dilation, because the presenting part is narrower than the head that follows. The head, which is the part with the largest diameter, can then be trapped during delivery.

Additionally, the trapped fetal head can compress the umbilical cord if the fetal umbilicus is visible at the introitus, particularly in primiparas whose pelvic tissues have not been dilated by previous deliveries. Umbilical cord compression may cause fetal hypoxemia.

hindi meaning of fetal presentation

Predisposing factors for breech presentation include

Preterm labor

Uterine abnormalities

Fetal anomalies

If delivery is vaginal, breech presentation may increase risk of

Umbilical cord prolapse

Birth trauma

Perinatal death

hindi meaning of fetal presentation

Face or brow presentation

In face presentation, the head is hyperextended, and position is designated by the position of the chin (mentum). When the chin is posterior, the head is less likely to rotate and less likely to deliver vaginally, necessitating cesarean delivery.

Brow presentation usually converts spontaneously to vertex or face presentation.

Occiput posterior position

The most common abnormal position is occiput posterior.

The fetal neck is usually somewhat deflexed; thus, a larger diameter of the head must pass through the pelvis.

Progress may arrest in the second phase of labor. Operative vaginal delivery or cesarean delivery is often required.

Position and Presentation of the Fetus

If a fetus is in the occiput posterior position, operative vaginal delivery or cesarean delivery is often required.

In breech presentation, the presenting part is a poor dilating wedge, which can cause the head to be trapped during delivery, often compressing the umbilical cord.

For breech presentation, usually do cesarean delivery at 39 weeks or during labor, but external cephalic version is sometimes successful before labor, usually at 37 or 38 weeks.

Why Is Cephalic Presentation Ideal For Childbirth?

Why Is Cephalic Presentation Ideal For Childbirth?

5   Dec   2017 | 8 min Read

hindi meaning of fetal presentation

During labour, contractions stretch your birth canal so that your baby has adequate room to come through during birth. The cephalic presentation is the safest and easiest way for your baby to pass through the birth canal.

If your baby is in a non-cephalic position, delivery can become more challenging. Different fetal positions pose a range of difficulties and varying risks and may not be considered ideal birthing positions.

Two Kinds of Cephalic Positions

There are two kinds of cephalic positions:

  • Cephalic occiput anterior , where your baby’s head is down and is facing toward your back.
  • Cephalic occiput posterior , where your baby is positioned head down, but they are facing your abdomen instead of your back. This position is also nicknamed ‘sunny-side-up’ and can increase the chances of prolonged and painful delivery. 

How to Know if Your Baby is In a Cephalic Position?

You can feel your baby’s position by rubbing your hand on your belly. If you feel your little one’s stomach in the upper stomach, then your baby is in a cephalic position. But if you feel their kicks in the lower stomach, then it could mean that your baby is in a breech position.

You can also determine whether your baby is in the anterior or posterior cephalic position. If your baby is in the anterior position, you may feel their movement underneath your ribs and your belly button could also pop out. If your baby is in the posterior position, then you may feel their kicks in their abdomen, and your stomach may appear rounded up instead of flat. 

You can also determine your baby’s position through an ultrasound scan or a physical examination at your healthcare provider’s office. 

Benefits of Cephalic Presentation in Pregnancy

Cephalic presentation is one of the most ideal birth positions, and has the following benefits:

  • It is the safest way to give birth as your baby’s position is head-down and prevents the risk of any injuries.
  • It can help your baby move through the delivery canal as safely and easily as possible.
  • It increases the chances of smooth labour and delivery.

Are There Any Risks Involved in Cephalic Position?

Conditions like a cephalic posterior position in addition to a narrow pelvis of the mother can increase the risk of pregnancy complications during delivery. Some babies in the head-first cephalic presentation might have their heads tilted backward. This may, in some rare cases, cause preterm delivery.

What are the Risks Associated with Other Birth Positions?

Cephalic Presentation

A small percentage of babies may settle into a non-cephalic position before their birth. This can pose risks to both your and your baby’s health, and also influence the way in which you deliver. 

In the next section, we have discussed a few positions that your baby can settle in throughout pregnancy, as they move around the uterus. But as they grow old, there will be less space for them to tumble around, and they will settle into their final position. This is when non-cephalic positions can pose a risk.  

Breech Position

There are three types of breech fetal positioning:

  • Frank breech : Your baby’s legs stick straight up along with their feet near their head.
  • Footling breech: One or both of your baby’s legs are lowered over your cervix.
  • Complete breech: Your baby is positioned bottom-first with their knees bent.

If your baby is in a breech position , vaginal delivery is considered complicated. When a baby is born in breech position, the largest part of their body, that is, their head is delivered last. This can lead to injury or even fetal distress. Moreover, the umbilical cord may also get damaged or get wrapped around your baby’s neck, cutting off their oxygen supply.  

If your baby is in a breech position, your healthcare provider may recommend a c-section, or they may try ways to flip your baby’s position in a cephalic presentation.

Transverse Lie

In this position, your baby settles in sideways across the uterus rather than being in a vertical position. They may be:

  • Head-down, with their back facing the birth canal
  • One shoulder pointing toward the birth canal
  • Up with their hands and feet facing the birth canal

If your baby settles in this position, then your healthcare provider may suggest a c-section to reduce the risk of distress in your baby and other pregnancy complications.

Turning Your Baby Into A Cephalic Position

External cephalic version (ECV) is a common, and non-invasive procedure that helps turn your baby into a cephalic position while they are in the womb. However, your healthcare provider may only consider this procedure if they consider you have a stable health condition in the last trimester, and if your baby hasn’t changed their position by the 36th week.

You can also try some natural remedies to change your baby’s position, such as:

  • Lying in a bridge position: Movements like bridge position can sometimes help move your baby into a more suitable position. Lie on your back with your feet flat on the ground and your legs bent. Raise your pelvis and hips into a bridge position and hold for 5-10 minutes. Repeat several times daily.
  • Chiropractic care: A chiropractor can help with the adjustment of your baby’s position and also reduce stress in them.
  • Acupuncture: After your doctor’s go-ahead, you can also consider acupuncture to get your baby to settle into an ideal birthing position.

While most babies settle in a cephalic presentation by the 36th week of pregnancy, some may lie in a breech or transverse position before birth. Since the cephalic position is considered the safest, your doctor may recommend certain procedures to flip your baby’s position to make your labour and delivery smooth. You may also try the natural methods that we discussed above to get your baby into a safe birthing position and prevent risks or other pregnancy complications. 

When Should A Baby Be In A Cephalic Position?

Your baby would likely naturally drop into a cephalic position between weeks 37 to 40 of your pregnancy .

Is Cephalic Position Safe?

Research shows that 95% of babies take the cephalic position a few weeks or days before their due date. It is considered to be the safest position. It ensures a smooth birthing process.

While most of the babies are in cephalic position at delivery, this is not always the case. If you have a breech baby, you can discuss the available options for delivery with your doctor.

Does cephalic presentation mean labour is near?

Head-down is the ideal position for your baby within your uterus during birth. This is known as the cephalic position. This posture allows your baby to pass through the delivery canal more easily and safely.

Can babies change from cephalic to breech?

The external cephalic version (ECV) is the most frequent procedure used for turning a breech infant.

How can I keep my baby in a cephalic position?

While your baby naturally gets into this position, you can try some exercises to ensure that they settle in cephalic presentation. Exercises such as breech tilt, forward-leaning position (spinning babies program), cat and camel pose can help.

Cephalic presentation

October 14, 2016

A cephalic presentation or head presentation or head-first presentation is a situation at childbirth where the fetus is in a longitudinal lie and the head enters the pelvis first; the most common form of cephalic presentation is the vertex presentation where the occiput is the leading part (the part that first enters the birth canal). All other presentations are abnormal (malpresentations) which are either more difficult to deliver or not deliverable by natural means.

The movement of the fetus to cephalic presentation is called head engagement. It occurs in the third trimester. In head engagement, the fetal head descends into the pelvic cavity so that only a small part (or none) of it can be felt abdominally. The perineum and cervix are further flattened and the head may be felt vaginally. Head engagement is known colloquially as the baby drop, and in natural medicine as the lightening because of the release of pressure on the upper abdomen and renewed ease in breathing. However, it severely reduces bladder capacity, increases pressure on the pelvic floor and the rectum, and the mother may experience the perpetual sensation that the fetus will “fall out” at any moment.

The vertex is the area of the vault bounded anteriorly by the anterior fontanelle and the coronal suture, posteriorly by the posterior fontanelle and the lambdoid suture and laterally by 2 lines passing through the parietal eminences.

In the vertex presentation the occiput typically is anterior and thus in an optimal position to negotiate the pelvic curve by extending the head. In an occiput posterior position, labor becomes prolonged and more operative interventions are deemed necessary. The prevalence of the persistent occiput posterior is given as 4.7 %

The vertex presentations are further classified according to the position of the occiput, it being right, left, or transverse, and anterior or posterior:

Left Occipito-Anterior (LOA), Left Occipito-Posterior (LOP), Left Occipito-Transverse (LOT); Right Occipito-Anterior (ROA), Right Occipito-Posterior (ROP), Right Occipito-Transverse (ROT);

Fetal Presentation, Position, and Lie (Including Breech Presentation)

  • Variations in Fetal Position and Presentation |

During pregnancy, the fetus can be positioned in many different ways inside the mother's uterus. The fetus may be head up or down or facing the mother's back or front. At first, the fetus can move around easily or shift position as the mother moves. Toward the end of the pregnancy the fetus is larger, has less room to move, and stays in one position. How the fetus is positioned has an important effect on delivery and, for certain positions, a cesarean delivery is necessary. There are medical terms that describe precisely how the fetus is positioned, and identifying the fetal position helps doctors to anticipate potential difficulties during labor and delivery.

Presentation refers to the part of the fetus’s body that leads the way out through the birth canal (called the presenting part). Usually, the head leads the way, but sometimes the buttocks (breech presentation), shoulder, or face leads the way.

Position refers to whether the fetus is facing backward (occiput anterior) or forward (occiput posterior). The occiput is a bone at the back of the baby's head. Therefore, facing backward is called occiput anterior (facing the mother’s back and facing down when the mother lies on her back). Facing forward is called occiput posterior (facing toward the mother's pubic bone and facing up when the mother lies on her back).

Lie refers to the angle of the fetus in relation to the mother and the uterus. Up-and-down (with the baby's spine parallel to mother's spine, called longitudinal) is normal, but sometimes the lie is sideways (transverse) or at an angle (oblique).

For these aspects of fetal positioning, the combination that is the most common, safest, and easiest for the mother to deliver is the following:

Head first (called vertex or cephalic presentation)

Facing backward (occiput anterior position)

Spine parallel to mother's spine (longitudinal lie)

Neck bent forward with chin tucked

Arms folded across the chest

If the fetus is in a different position, lie, or presentation, labor may be more difficult, and a normal vaginal delivery may not be possible.

Variations in fetal presentation, position, or lie may occur when

The fetus is too large for the mother's pelvis (fetopelvic disproportion).

The uterus is abnormally shaped or contains growths such as fibroids .

The fetus has a birth defect .

There is more than one fetus (multiple gestation).

hindi meaning of fetal presentation

Position and Presentation of the Fetus

Variations in fetal position and presentation.

Some variations in position and presentation that make delivery difficult occur frequently.

Occiput posterior position

In occiput posterior position (sometimes called sunny-side up), the fetus is head first (vertex presentation) but is facing forward (toward the mother's pubic bone—that is, facing up when the mother lies on her back). This is a very common position that is not abnormal, but it makes delivery more difficult than when the fetus is in the occiput anterior position (facing toward the mother's spine—that is facing down when the mother lies on her back).

When a fetus faces up, the neck is often straightened rather than bent,which requires more room for the head to pass through the birth canal. Delivery assisted by a vacuum device or forceps or cesarean delivery may be necessary.

Breech presentation

In breech presentation, the baby's buttocks or sometimes the feet are positioned to deliver first (before the head).

When delivered vaginally, babies that present buttocks first are more at risk of injury or even death than those that present head first.

The reason for the risks to babies in breech presentation is that the baby's hips and buttocks are not as wide as the head. Therefore, when the hips and buttocks pass through the cervix first, the passageway may not be wide enough for the head to pass through. In addition, when the head follows the buttocks, the neck may be bent slightly backwards. The neck being bent backward increases the width required for delivery as compared to when the head is angled forward with the chin tucked, which is the position that is easiest for delivery. Thus, the baby’s body may be delivered and then the head may get caught and not be able to pass through the birth canal. When the baby’s head is caught, this puts pressure on the umbilical cord in the birth canal, so that very little oxygen can reach the baby. Brain damage due to lack of oxygen is more common among breech babies than among those presenting head first.

In a first delivery, these problems may occur more frequently because a woman’s tissues have not been stretched by previous deliveries. Because of risk of injury or even death to the baby, cesarean delivery is preferred when the fetus is in breech presentation, unless the doctor is very experienced with and skilled at delivering breech babies or there is not an adequate facility or equipment to safely perform a cesarean delivery.

Breech presentation is more likely to occur in the following circumstances:

Labor starts too soon (preterm labor).

The uterus is abnormally shaped or contains abnormal growths such as fibroids .

Other presentations

In face presentation, the baby's neck arches back so that the face presents first rather than the top of the head.

In brow presentation, the neck is moderately arched so that the brow presents first.

Usually, fetuses do not stay in a face or brow presentation. These presentations often change to a vertex (top of the head) presentation before or during labor. If they do not, a cesarean delivery is usually recommended.

In transverse lie, the fetus lies horizontally across the birth canal and presents shoulder first. A cesarean delivery is done, unless the fetus is the second in a set of twins. In such a case, the fetus may be turned to be delivered through the vagina.

hindi meaning of fetal presentation

A presentation conveys information from a speaker to an audience. Presentations are typically demonstrations, introduction, lecture, or speech meant to inform, persuade, inspire, motivate, build goodwill, or present a new idea/product. Presentations usually require preparation, organization, event planning, writing, use of visual aids, dealing with stress, and answering questions. “The key elements of a presentation consists of presenter, audience, message, reaction and method to deliver speech for organizational success in an effective manner.” Presentations are widely used in tertiary work settings such as accountants giving a detailed report of a company's financials or an entrepreneur pitching their venture idea to investors. The term can also be used for a formal or ritualized introduction or offering, as with the presentation of a debutante. Presentations in certain formats are also known as keynote address. Interactive presentations, in which the audience is involved, are also represented more and more frequently. Instead of a monologue, this creates a dialogue between the speaker and the audience. The advantages of an interactive presentation is for example, that it attracts more attention from the audience and that the interaction creates a sense of community.
