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 babyâs position through the mother's abdomen. Ultrasound: A more accurate method that uses sound waves to create an image of the babyâs position. Vaginal Examination: During labor, a vaginal exam can help determine the position of the babyâs head.
