1. Contracted Pelvis. A very narrow pelvis in the mother can cause a shoulder presentation to occur. 2. Placenta Previa. A condition where the placenta covers the uterus opening, either completely or partially. This makes it difficult for your baby's head to enter the pelvic brim. 3. Intra-Uterine Fetal Death.
Shoulder presentation
Shoulder presentation. In obstetrics, a shoulder presentation is a malpresentation at childbirth where the baby is in a transverse lie (its vertebral column is perpendicular to that of the mother), thus the leading part (the part that first enters the birth canal) is an arm, a shoulder, or the trunk. While a baby can be delivered vaginally when ...
7.6 Transverse lie and shoulder presentation
7.6.1 Diagnosis. The uterus is very wide: the transverse axis is virtually equivalent to the longitudinal axis; fundal height is less than 30 cm near term. On examination: head in one side, breech in the other (Figures 7.1a and 7.1b). Vaginal examination reveals a nearly empty true pelvis or a shoulder with—sometimes—an arm prolapsing from ...
Fetal Presentation, Position, and Lie (Including Breech Presentation)
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 ...
Abnormal Presentation
Compound presentation means that a fetal hand is coming out with the fetal head. This is a problem because: The amount of baby that must come through the birth canal at one time is increased. There is increased risk of mechanical injury to the arm and shoulder, including fractures, nerve injuries and soft tissue injury.
Shoulder Presentation and unstable lie
Shoulder Presentation (Transverse or Oblique lie) Definition. The longitudinal axis of the foetus does not coincide with that of the mother. These are the most hazardous malpresentations due to mechanical difficulties that occur during labour . The oblique lie which is deviation of the head or the breech to one iliac fossa, is less hazardous as ...

Fetal Presentation, Position, and Lie (Including Breech Presentation)
Toward the end of pregnancy, the fetus moves into position for delivery. Normally, the presentation is vertex (head first), and the position is occiput anterior (facing toward the pregnant patient's spine) with the face and body angled to one side and the neck flexed. Abnormal presentations include face, brow, breech, and shoulder.
Presentation (obstetrics)
Presentation of twins in Der Rosengarten ("The Rose Garden"), a German standard medical text for midwives published in 1513. In obstetrics, the presentation of a fetus about to be born specifies which anatomical part of the fetus is leading, that is, is closest to the pelvic inlet of the birth canal.According to the leading part, this is identified as a cephalic, breech, or shoulder presentation.
Fetal Malpresentation and Malposition
Fetal malpresentation includes breech, shoulder, compound, face, and brow presentations. Risk factors for fetal malposition include multiple fetal and maternal factors, including fetal size, amniotic fluid volume, fetal anomalies, maternal habitus, and pelvic structure. Breech presentation is the most commonly encountered fetal malpresentation ...
8.6.3 Complications of shoulder presentation
Remember that a shoulder presentation means the baby cannot be born through the vagina; if you detect it in a woman who is already in labour, refer her urgently to a higher health facility. In all cases of malpresentation or malposition, do not attempt to turn the baby with your hands! Only a specially trained doctor or midwife should attempt this.
Shoulder presentation. The incidence of shoulder presentation at term is 1 in 200 and is found with a transverse or oblique lie. Multiparity (uterine laxity) and prematurity are common associations and placenta praevia must be excluded. The lie will usually correct spontaneously before labour as uterine tone increases, although prolapse of the ...
Shoulder Dystocia: Managing an Obstetric Emergency
Shoulder dystocia is an obstetric emergency in which normal traction on the fetal head does not lead to delivery of the shoulders. This can cause neonatal brachial plexus injuries, hypoxia, and ...
Shoulder Presentation And Delivery
Shoulder presentation is an abnormal position of the fetus at the time of delivery. In this position, the fetus lies transversely so that its vertebral column lies perpendicular to the maternal spine. So, the part that enters the birth canal will be the trunk or shoulder or an arm. In spite of some deviations in the positioning of the fetus ...

8.6 Shoulder presentation. Shoulder presentation is rare at full term, but may occur when the fetus lies transversely across the uterus (Figure 8.7), if it stopped part-way through spontaneous inversion from breech to vertex, or it may lie transversely from early pregnancy. If the baby lies facing upwards, its back may be the presenting part ...
Overview. Shoulder dystocia was first described in 1730 and is an obstetric complication of cephalic vaginal deliveries during which the fetal shoulders do not deliver after the head has emerged from the mother's introitus. It occurs when one or both shoulders become (s) impacted against the bones of the maternal pelvis (symphysis pubis and ...
What is a Transverse Baby?
Diagnosis of Transverse Presentation. Abdominal examination— In transverse position, the presenting part of the fetus is typically the shoulder. During abdominal examination, the head or the ...
Shoulder presentation
shoulder presentation. A malposition that occurs during delivery in which the baby is in transverse lie across the uterus and perpendicular to the mother's vertebral column. Shoulder presentation is easy to diagnose and difficult to delivery vaginally, with the occasional exception of a shoulder-presenting second twin, for which an internal ...
Shoulder Dystocia
Shoulder dystocia is a complication of vaginal delivery that occurs when the anterior fetal shoulder becomes impacted behind the maternal pubic symphysis. Less commonly, it occurs when the posterior shoulder becomes lodged behind the maternal sacral promontory.[1] It is typically characterized by failure to deliver the fetal shoulders using the usual gentle downward traction and the need for ...

How to Avoid the New 'Shoulder Season' Crowds
Yet remote work and overcrowded peak seasons have increased the popularity of these shoulder seasons. Take the Jersey Shore, a popular seaside destination in New Jersey, for example.
