The presenting part is the part of the baby’s body that leads the way through the birth canal. When you get in labor the part of the body that will present first is the presenting part  It is very important. During antenatal your midwife can know through abdominal examination by performing pelvic examination.  An ultrasound scan can also help to determine the presenting part  Getting to the end of your pregnancy is one of the essential things your doctor or midwife will like to know.  It helps them to determine your mode of delivery  The presentation is often cephalic, that is baby coming with the head first  The presenting part can also be shoulder presentations, feet or buttocks  Always cooperate with your doctor or midwife when it comes to your birth plan.  A breech presentation, shoulder etc will need health professionals who are skilled or specialized in receiving similar cases  In some cases a cesarean section will be required for the best interest of the mum and baby
