What Does This Mean?
On my medical notes it says
Placental Position: Anterior mid uterine
Fetal Position: Cephalic
What does that mean?
Answers:
Anterior mid uterine means that your placenta is implanted on the front middle of your uterus, and this is a good position.
Cephalic means that your baby is head down
Hope this helps! Good luck with it all!
why dont you ask your doctor!
It means poop.
You should know since its you its talking about
Not too fine of a point on this but why don't you ask your doctor this? You would get this information quicker!
i don't know but i wouldn't trust anyone else for the answer they might say somthing that is not even close to what this mean. If i were you i would of ask my doctor.
I dont know exactly but if you google the words you can find out - or join the BOUNTY forums - they're good on there. I know the top one means your afterbirth is in position mid way in the uterus and cephalic I believe means baby is correctly laying with its spine outwards. I used to google words my daughter didnt know and I always found them xx
You're pregnant
well the placenta position is what it says, the position of the placenta, mine is interior.something. and i really don't know about fetal position, i guess it is the "medical" name for the position of the baby. if anything was wrong with what the positions were, i am sure they would have told you about it though.
I'm not a doctor but guessing from what you say , it sounds like your baby is head down . And anterior mid uterine means that your placenta is in the front about part way up ( which is good because its not near your cervix.)
It means the placenta is in the front (anterior) and middle (mid) of your uterus. Nothing bad, actually good its not covering your cervix which is at the bottom (posterior) and Cephalic means head down position. I left a link for the Cephalic definition for you, the other are basic medical terms (anterior and mid)
Placental position is towards the front mid uterus.
Cephalic refers to the position of the head
External cephalic version is a process by which a breech baby can sometimes be turned from buttocks or foot first to head first. It should only be attempted from 34 weeks on and oftentimes is reserved for later due to the fact that breech presentation greatly decreases with every week.
In this procedure hands are placed on the mother's abdomen around the baby. The baby is moved up and away from the pelvis and gently turned in several steps from breech, to a sideways position, and finally to a head first presentation. In any attempt to move the baby the fetus should be encouraged to keep its knees pulled in so as not to further complicate things.
As with any procedure there can be complications most of which can be greatly decreased by having an experienced professional on your birth team. An ultrasound to estimate a sufficient amount of amniotic fluid and monitoring of the fetus immediately after the procedure can also help minimize risks.
There are a few cases in which there can be a greater risk, these include pre-eclampsia, uterine scarring, and multiple pregnancies or fetal abnormality.
if i was you i would ask the O.B.G.Y.N. it has to do with the position of your baby.good luck to you.
Cephalic Posterior is when the baby is in the correct position but it's facing your abdomen instead of the other way around (as it should be), which is fine except for a little bit more back ache in labour (or so i've heard)
anterior mid uterine means that the placenta is in a good position it is in the front middle of your uterus. if it was too low you would have a placenta previa which is dangerous. you're good/...
when they say cephalic fetal position it means the baby is not in delivery position which is fine if you'r not ready to deliver. they usually give the baby upto 38 weeks to flip if not they do fetal manipulations
I was able to ring my midwife during surgery hours, maybe you could ring her and ask. I know how confusing it is, ewspecially if it is your first baby and you don't have a clue on whats happening. The amount of times I left after an appointment and read the notes and didn't have a clue what they meant. I wish that they would put them in plain English!
The placenta is on the front of your uterus(towards your belly), about halfway up. Normally it is on the back near your spine. All that means is you may feel your baby move less than most women. Not that your baby will move less. It also means there is a slightly increased chance that your baby will come out "sunny side up" (Looking up instead of down) this may make labour slightly more painful but is in no way dangerous. http://www.ivillage.co.uk/pregnancyandba.
The location of your placenta could be a problem if you had a c-section, but you aren't planning on that, right? However it wouldn't make a c-section impossible if it is required, the doctor would just have to be careful.
Cephalic just means head down.
To help prevent your baby facing the wrong way you may want to go to a chiropractor, talk to your baby etc.
Here is a great site for figuring out fetal positioning (though I never really got it and my baby wasn't in quite the right position so I had a long labour of him slowly turning but it was no big deal. Better to avoid it though) http://www.spinningbabies.com/
Best of luck.
placental position anterior mid uterine means the placenta has attached halfway up your womb at the front. this is good cos u dont want it obstructing exit at birthing time.
fetal position cephalic means baby is presenting itself head down, which is perfect.
Placental position - anterior mid uterine - means that your placenta is at the front of your uterus, kind of in the middle - good because it means it isn't covering the cervix at all (placenta previa).
Fetal positioning - cephalic - means that the baby is head down.

i had an anterior placenta but mine was near my ribs, sounds like yours is halfway up so no worries there! Only problems i had were that i had bad back ache through labour as the baby was so close to my spine (usually the placenta cushions the baby against your spine), my bump looked high up and i was HUGE at the end, and you don't feel so many strong movements. Bonus was i NEVER had any toes/kicks under my ribcage! I was told that 2nd time round i may have this again but the position/height of the placenta may differ.
Hi.
My labour notes said exactly the same thing as yours.
Basically you have nothing to worry about. You placenta and baby are positioned correctly. You only have to worry if the placental position is 'low'. This would basically mean that it was positioned over your cervix which would make a normal delivery very unlikely.
Fetal postition "Cephalic" means head down. This may change a number of times during the pregnancy as the baby moves around. As long as it's back to Cephalic towards the end of the pregnancy everything will be fine.
Good luck.
the placental position is the position of where your placenta is, mine is the same as yours (i just checked my notes) i was told mine was at the back so i presume yours is too.
the fetal position cephalic just means that your babys head is down rather than in breech or transverse position.
If it makes you feel any better, the same thing happend to me,and i'm having twins.
In the dictionary anterior means, 'in the front' and i guess mid uterine means 'in the middle of your uterus.' so probably at the front in the middle of your uterus.
My preganancy book says that cephalic position means: Head down.
Hope that helps.
Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!
