Cephalic presentation but oblique lie

How many weeks are you?

34+3 weeks

You don’t need to be worried.

So cephalic presentation basically means that the head is the lowest part (so head down and not breech). Oblique is more the position the baby is lying in. So the ideal position is longitudinal, which means that the body is effectively lying vertically with the head at the opening of (or in) the pelvis. Oblique lie means the baby is kind of diagonal, with the head just to the side of the pelvic inlet.

Hope that all makes sense! You don’t need to worry as there is still loads of time for the baby to shift to a longitudinal position. May well happen naturally but there are loads of yoga videos on YouTube for getting baby into the optimal position. Or if you have a pregnancy ball you can do pelvic tilts and that kind of thing. Might be worth looking at the spinning babies website. I’m sure all will be fine :)

thank you so so much!

i’m assuming it means baby is on the way to head down and won’t be long, my girl was transverse up until 32 weeks, midewide said she’s on her way to going head down and then i believe, went in at 34 weeks and she was head down which i was surprised about
