    hi does anyone have any helpful hints about how to remember the fetul skull diameters, their names and what presentation they result in? i'm finding it incredibly difficult- there's just no room in my brain with everything else aswell!!!

    thanks xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx :?

    I have one of these cardboard cut out babies, it can be positioned to show the different diameters and I feel it makes it more realistic to have the body attached.
