fetal presentation

the way the fetus is oriented during the birth process, specifically whether or not the fetus is exiting the birth canal head first. If the fetus is oriented so that it will be delivered buttocks first, this is known as a breech birth (or breech presentation); breech births are associated with risks to mother and baby (see birth injury).
