What is the right occipital posterior position?

There are several fetal positions, and the right pillow is one of them. What is the fetal position behind the right pillow?

Definition of fetal position

The right occipital posterior position means that the occipital bone of the fetus is located at the right posterior of the maternal pelvis, and the right occipital posterior position is a kind of fetal orientation.

Choice of natural delivery and caesarean section

Generally, if the fetus is normal in all aspects, most of them will choose the way of natural delivery, which is easier to recover. However, if the indicators of the fetus and pregnant women are abnormal, it is safer to choose caesarean section.

Relationship between fetal position and delivery mode

Fetal position determines how to produce, and it is generally recommended to choose natural delivery mode, which is easier to recover.

Harm of right occipital posterior position

After the right occipital, the fetal head diameter increased greatly during delivery. The occipital anterior position generally passes through the birth canal with the diameter of suboccipital anterior fontanel, which is about 9.5 cm in diameter. The occipital posterior position generally passes through the birth canal with the occipital frontal diameter of about 1 1 cm, so it will greatly increase the possibility of dystocia, which may lead to labor stagnation, head-basin asymmetry, and even the need for forceps to assist delivery or cesarean section.
