malpresentation

It can help the baby turn around in the case of a malpresentation of the head.

However, it is associated with a higher risk for miscarriage, premature birth, and malpresentation.

Patients with a double uterus may need special attention during pregnancy as premature birth and malpresentation are common.

Malpresentation is found in about 35% cases.

A malpresentation is any other presentation than a vertex presentation (with the top of the head first).

There was almost certainly a malpresentation.

In a C-section (usually done due to malpresentation) the irregular shape of the uterus can be noticed.

Ultrasound examination delivers the precise diagnosis and may indicate possible causes of a malpresentation.

Fetal factors include prematurity, infection, cord prolapse, malpresentation or genetic mutations.

Malpresentation of fetus can refer to:

Shoulder presentation is a malpresentation that is not to be confused with shoulder dystocia, a complication during the birth of a baby in a vertex presentation.

The common clinical features are smaller symphysio fundal height, fetal malpresentation, undue prominence of fetal parts and reduced amount of amniotic fluid.

Women who delivered their first child by Caesarean delivery had increased risks for malpresentation, placenta previa, antepartum hemorrhage, placenta accreta, prolonged labor, uterine rupture, preterm birth, low birth weight, and stillbirth in their second deliveries.

It is also reported from a study on Moslem women in Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Nigeria, Sri Lanka and Sudan that, as parity rose, so did the incidence of anaemia, toxaemia, haemorrhage, fetus malpresentation and blood disorders.

A shoulder presentation refers to 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 enters first the birth canal) is an arm, shoulder, or the trunk.

It was when I was torn from my bed one morning at 6 a.m. to attend a calving heifer at old Mr Homer's small farm and when I got there I found there was no malpresentation of the calf but that it was simply too big.
