Position & Presentation Scan: 37-40 Weeks

The Position and Presentation Scan, performed between 37 and 40 weeks, provides critical information about your baby’s position in the womb and the part closest to the birth canal, helping plan for a safe delivery.

What is a Position and Presentation Scan?

This scan is focused on determining:

• Fetal Position: The baby’s position in the uterus (e.g., head-down, breech, transverse).
• Fetal Presentation: The part of the baby that is presenting at the cervix (e.g., head, buttocks, shoulder).

Why is a Position and Presentation Scan Important?

This scan is essential for several reasons:

• Delivery Planning: Knowing the baby’s position helps healthcare providers determine the safest delivery method, whether vaginal birth or cesarean section.
• Identifying Complications: Abnormal presentations (such as breech) can increase the risk of complications during labor, allowing for early intervention.
• Monitoring Fetal Health: Ensures the baby is in a position that supports a safe delivery and assesses overall health.

Who Should Consider a Position and Presentation Scan?

This scan is recommended for:

• Pregnant women approaching their due date (37-40 weeks).
• Those with concerns about fetal movement or position.
• Women who’ve had previous pregnancies with abnormal presentations.
• Patients with risk factors that may affect fetal positioning, such as uterine abnormalities or multiple pregnancies.

Benefits of a Position and Presentation Scan:

• Non-invasive and Safe: The ultrasound is safe for both mother and baby, using sound waves to create images without radiation.
• Timely Information: Offers essential details about fetal position, critical for planning the delivery.
• Peace of Mind: Knowing the baby’s position can reduce anxiety and help prepare for labor.
