Yes, Station Is Very Important Too!

Everyone knows about dilation. Everyone wants to hear that they are at 10cm, because that means they are almost done! But station is important too. It tells you where in the pelvis the baby's head is. Often times you need the baby to drop low enough in the pelvis to put pressure on the cervix so that it can dilate to 10cm. . .But sometimes, you can be fully dilated, and still have a baby high at a -1 or -2. 

Ever Wonder How They Turn?
