A face presentation is mentum anterior (which usually delivers quite nicely) or mentum posterior (which is less likely to deliver vaginally (although I have seen it twice). El said "face to pubis", which to me is a deflexed occiput posterior position. What was it, El? -- Betsy Hyde CNM Branford, CT On Jul 22, 2007, at 10:19 AM, Andrew Folley wrote: > The consultant told the resident that a face presentation was a > contraindication to vaginal birth and a c-section should be > recommended.

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.
