Read any OB textbook. The diamond is the anterior fontanel, the triangle is the posterior fontanel. Not always identifiable early in labor, but by the time they are 6 or 7 cm, it is easy most of the time - unless extensive molding or asynclitism.

The only way to get good is to check patients frequently in labor feeling for the sutrue lines.

Yes, I can feel the suture lines but then what? I need an idiot way to tell me which one I am feeling. Having said that I did get an OA position right yesterday but only because I poked the poor kid in the eye!! UGH!!! I hate epidurals it means I have to v/e women, give me the upright, normal, mobile woman anyday of the week.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
