Question about my antenatal card / obstetric record card

[nickle730]

I'm not certain, but I think 'C' indicates a cephalic presentation - meaning baby is head down.

Cephalic presentation EG head down.

Ah ok. My normal OB must not have been bothering to record this (she hates the cards because she thinks it gives the hospital too much to fret about) as I've been head down for a couple of months now.

Some obs don't note the position until the last few weeks because it is likely to change. But towards the end (I'm not sure how far along you are) it is handy to know which way around they are so if you suddenly lob in hospital in labour it is good for the staff to have the information in regards to position as soon as possible. Woo hoo for head down
