Attitude refers to the relationship of fetal parts to each other, such as flexion or extension. Lie is the relationship of the fetal spine to the mother's spine, which can be longitudinal, transverse, or oblique. Position refers to the relationship of the fetal reference point, such as the occiput or sacrum, to the mother's pelvis, which can be right anterior, left anterior, right posterior, or left posterior.

    Frank (most common) – flexion of hips and extension of knees
    Footling/incomplete – extension of hips and knees

    transverse (right angles)
    oblique (slight angle off a true transverse lie)
    POSITION
    relationship of fetal reference point to mother’s pelvis

    Fetal reference point


    Vertex presentation – dependent upon degree of flexion of fetal head on chest; full
    flexion–occiput (O); full extension–chin (M); moderate extension–brow (B)
