43
Q

In multiparous women, descent usually begins ___

A

With engagement

44
Q

Descent is brought to you by one or more 4 forces:

A

46
Q

Suboccipitobregmatic diameter in flexion is substituted with ____

Q

This is essential for the completion of labor, except when the fetus is ___

Internal rotation

Unusually small

49
Q

This happens when the head presses upon the pelvic floor

50
Q

2 forces involves in during extension:
