what does Ceph mean in relation to babies position?
Hi girls, was just having a look through my mat notes and last time i was at the mw at 28 weeks it says under babies position - ceph, what does this mean???
Since this is my second baby i don't see the mw again until 34 weeks (next week). Really hoping this is a good thing since my son was breech until 37 weeks and then went back to back resulting in an emergency c-section.
Thanks )

Hope this helps.
yeah my son was posterior and i had a back labour which was contractions in my spine - not nice. It just says ceph but i feel different this time and i can feel her back with no kicks to the front so i think she is anterior and def lying down my left side cos it sticks out a mile
I think she may have engaged also as i need to pee all the time the last few days and her movements are restricted.
Take care love fi and bump 42 days to go!
hi can anyone help mine just says ?ceph on my notes like whats that mean dose anyone know like
It means they think its head down (cephalic) but are not certain - this is not a problem till 34-36 weeks as babies can still turn. Second and subsequent babies often don't "engage" where 3/5 of the head can be felt until labour begins. Hope this helps x
