    Deciphering ob notes

    At my ob appt today (31 weeks) under 'Presentation and Position' on my antenatal card he has written 'C'. Any ideas of what it could mean? Thanks!

    It might stand for Cephalic, which I believe is when baby is in a head down position.

    Yep Ambah is right. Means the baby is head down.

    That's a good position Wheatie. WM was cephalic too. Not long for you now ... these last few weeks will fly.

    Yep took me a while to realise the 6 was a pic of bubby being head down! heh. It wasn't until one of them was actually drawn more like a stick figure that I worked it out.
