Prior to delivery, it is essential that the fetus be in the standard vertex presentation (head-first) in order to ensure a safe delivery. This helps protect both the mother and the infant during the labor process. If the baby’s position or size is abnormal, doctor intervention is usually required. This might, in some situations, refer to more simple manual procedures to move the baby, but it may also lead to a planned C-section delivery.
If healthcare professionals do not quickly resolve or identify issues associated with the fetal weight presentation and size, ultimately leading to birth injuries, this can be the basis of a medical malpractice claim. The complications associated with abnormal position, weight, size, and presentation include breech birth, face presentation, or C-section for babies in the breech position.
