Fetal position (British English: also foetal) is the positioning of the body of a prenatal fetus as it develops.

In this position, the back is curved, the head is bowed, and the limbs are bent and drawn up to the torso.

Pregnancy, also known as gravidity or gestation, is the time during which one or more offspring develops inside a woman.

A multiple pregnancy involves more than one offspring, such as with twins.

Pregnancy can occur by sexual intercourse or assisted reproductive technology.

Childbirth typically occurs around 40 weeks from the last menstrual period (LMP).

This is just over nine lunar months, where each month is about 29½ days.

When measured from conception it is about 38 weeks.

An embryo is the developing offspring during the first eight weeks following conception, after which, the term fetus is used until birth.

Symptoms of early pregnancy may include missed periods, tender breasts, nausea and vomiting, hunger, and frequent urination.

Pregnancy may be confirmed with a pregnancy test.

Childbirth, also known as labour and delivery, is the ending of a pregnancy by one or more babies leaving a woman's uterus.

This can occur by vaginal delivery or Caesarean section.

In 2015 there were about 135 million births globally.

About 15 million were born before 37 weeks of gestation, while between 3 and 12% were born after 42 weeks.

In the developed world most deliveries occur in hospital, while in the developing world most births take place at home with the support of a traditional birth attendant.

A breech birth occurs when a baby is born bottom first instead of head first.

Around 3-5% of pregnant women at term (37–40 weeks pregnant) will have a breech baby.

Caesarean section, also known as C-section or caesarean delivery, is the use of surgery to deliver one or more babies.

A caesarean section is often performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby or mother at risk.

This may include obstructed labour, twin pregnancy, high blood pressure in the mother, breech birth, problems with the placenta, umbilical cord or shape of the pelvis, and previous C-section.

A trial of vaginal birth in some of these situations, including after C-section, may be possible.

Some C-sections are also performed upon request.

The World Health Organization recommends that they should be done based on medical need and in many cases they are lifesaving for the mother and baby.
