Hello,
I am currently reading about delivering fetuses in the various positions. According to my textbook (Impey's), delivering in the face presentation is only possible if the position is mento-anterior. It states that mento-posterior delivery is not possible as the head is fully extended and as such can not extend any more. Why could the baby not however be delivered by flexion over the sacrum with the mother on all fours?
Thanks for any clarification.
