types of fetal positions

How is Fetal Position Determined?

Healthcare providers use several methods to determine the fetal position, including:
Leopold's Maneuvers: A series of four palpations performed by the healthcare provider to feel the baby’s position through the mother's abdomen.
Ultrasound: A more accurate method that uses sound waves to create an image of the baby’s position.
Vaginal Examination: During labor, a vaginal exam can help determine the position of the baby’s head.
