A member asked:
When the obgyn says she can feel the baby's head bounce and you are 1/2 cm dilated what does that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ballotable: This is a simple term that describes the fetal head in relationship to position before labor. If it can be "bounced" it has not fixed itself within the bony pelvis to get ready for delivery.
