    symbol on obstetric card??

    Ok i have another questions, just looked at my obstetric card (my yellow card that i take to all my doctors appointments) and under position and presentation my doctor has written what looks like a symbol and i'm curious to know what it means. It looks like a back to front 6 or b. I've tried googling it but can't seem to find what it means. So what better place to ask than BB

    It means your baby is head down, with its back down your right hand side

    Took me ages to figure that out too LOL. Until one time he drew it like a stick figure (stick with a head) and it twigged that it showed the position of the baby.
