the photo says that mentum anterior is extremely rare....actually, not. That's the way you want them!

The rare/difficult/allegedly *impossible* face position is mentum posterior, presumably because the chin hangs up on the sacrum.

who has seen one mentum posterior face deliver with ease. And the labor floor at Yale has a series of 3 photos of a MP face during birth....so it can be done!

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.
