What Are the Positions of Engagement?

Engagement is classified based on the position of the baby’s head:
Vertex Presentation: The most common and ideal position, where the baby’s head is down, and the chin is tucked to the chest.
Occiput Anterior: The baby’s head is down, with the back of the head facing the front of the mother’s pelvis.
Occiput Posterior: The baby’s head is down, with the back of the head facing the mother’s back. This can make labor more difficult and prolonged.
