👀Can you see something different about this delivery? 👀
Well the baby is in occiput posterior position ... what about it?
Normaly when babies are born they are facing the mother's back so that during the labor they can fit snuggly in the pelvis where they tuck their chin onto their chest (smaller diameter of the head is being delivered first)
But, during occiput posterior the baby is facing the mother's abdomen and the baby's back is directly on the mother's back. The larger diameter of the baby's head is being delivered first which needs to pass thru the pelvis. This labor tends to be slower and more painful.
