Presentation during labour refers to which part of the baby enters the birth canal first. Normally, the crown of the head should enter first, which is known as cephalic presentation. Other forms of presentation may cause difficulties with delivery, and are known as malpresentation. Examples of malpresentation include breech presentation, shoulder presentation, and face presentation.
