- Parallel, the fetal position extending parallel to the long axis and the mother’s womb. But can the position of the baby’s head under the (normal), below the buttocks or legs (breech).
- Horizontal, if the fetal position transverse to the long axis and the mother’s womb, commonly known as the location of latitude pregnant, Chernobyl trip.

“So, in addition to the position of the head down and parallel to the axis of the mother is called an abnormal position (malpresentasi), both breech and latitude,” said Dr. Didi Danukusumo, SpOG, KFM.

Please note, during pregnancy, the fetus is the largest and heaviest of the head. So if there is no blocking something, would head down by itself, not to mention the existence of gravity.

Location of breech
“Pregnancy is called a breech or latitude at the age of more than 37 weeks gestation. Because of the age before 37 weeks, 40 percent of fetuses are still able to change position. So, Moms do not have to worry if the fetus is breech or latitude as long as the pregnancy has not reached the age of maturity, ie 37-41 weeks,” explained Doctors who practice in hospitals.

- Fetal factors, including the fetus is too large, short umbilical cord tangled up or even spin so that the fetus is difficult to change position, abnormalities in the fetus (eg hidrocephalus), multiple pregnancy, which is too much amniotic fluid (polyhydramnios) or little (oligohydramnios).
