in my maternity notes my midwife has written LOA.

what does this mean?

trishawootton

LOA Left occiput anterior i.e. the back of baby’s head is to the rear left side of your abdomen, which makes delivery easier

there ya go hun xx

Mrs-N

arh thank you.

so when the time comes does baby need to be LOA to be delivered?

trishawootton

i think so yeah if it is LOP - Left occiput posterior i.e. back of baby.s head is to the rear left side of your abdomen it makes delivery alot harder
so your baby is in the right position atm hun xx

Mrs-N
