AB The  fetus  enters  the  pelvis  in  a  cephalic  presentation  approximately  95  percent  to  96  percent  of  the  time.  In  these  cephalic  presentations,  the  occiput  may  be  in  the  persistent  transverse  or  posterior  positions.  In  about  3  percent  to  4  percent  of  pregnancies,  there  is  a  breech-presenting  fetus  (see  Chapter  25).  In  the  remaining  1  percent,  the  fetus  may  be  either  in  a  transverse  or  oblique  lie  (see  Chapter  26),  or  the  head  may  be  extended  with  the  face  or  brow  presenting.
