Explanation

Cephalic presentation is a term used in medicine to describe the position of a baby in the womb near the end of pregnancy. It means that the baby's head is down and is the part that will come out first during birth. This is the most common and safest position for the baby to be in for a normal delivery. If the baby is not in this position, it may require special attention or procedures during childbirth.
