Maternity notes.....advice please.

[NIE]

Hi,

Just back from my 28 week appointment with my MW and have just looked through my notes.

Am I right in thinking that CEPH stands for cephalic, which is the position of a baby lying head down in the uterus?

What does CEPH FREE mean?

 

[Squiglet]

It means the heads not engaged yet, I believe... means baby's not ready to come out...but he is head down...

Thanks.

That's put my mind at ease. xxx

yes ceph is the position of your baby (head down) and free means thats babys head is not yet engaged
