About

The project aims to find a relationship between the positioning of the foetus before and during birth and the results of obstetrics and to determine their incidence in the Polish population. The study will be conducted by combining the use of ultrasound diagnostics, midwives observations during childbirth, analysis of medical documentation and a questionnaire on the activity of examined women. The obtained results will be used to prepare guidelines for the birth in a particular foetus position.
