Asynclitic birth

Asynclitic birth

An asynclitic birth refers to the position of a baby in the uterus such that the head is tilted to the side [http://spinningbabies.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=60&Itemid=28 Asynclitism in labor] , spinningbabies.com] . Most asynclitism corrects spontaneously in the progress of normal labor. Persistence of asynclitism is usually a signal of other problems with dysctocia (abnormal labor).

Other abnormal birth positions include breech birth, posterior presentation, anterior presentation, and transverse presentation.
