- Asynclitic birth
An asynclitic birth refers to the position of a
baby in theuterus such that the head is tilted to the side [http://spinningbabies.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=60&Itemid=28 Asynclitism in labor] , spinningbabies.com] . Most asynclitism corrects spontaneously in the progress of normal labor. Persistence of asynclitism is usually a signal of other problems with dysctocia (abnormal labor).Other abnormal birth positions include
breech birth , posterior presentation, anterior presentation, and transverse presentation.References
