Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

If the baby is born normally, it will look bigger or slightly oval. This form is called ____ ? This happens when the baby tries to get out through the birth canal.

A	The head is cut off
B	Molding
C	Cephalhematoma
D	fontanel

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Newborn head molding is an abnormal head shape that results from pressure on the baby’s head during childbirth. During a head first birth, pressure on the head caused by the tight birth canal may mold the head into an oblong rather than round shape. This is a common occurrence that usually disappears after a few days.

Detailed explanation-2: -As a baby descends through the cervix and vagina, his skull compresses and sometimes overlaps to fit the space-a process known as molding. These shifts allow babies to be born vaginally, but they can also result in a cone-shaped head upon arrival.

Detailed explanation-3: -In caput succedaneum (kuh-PUT sec-seh-DAY-knee-um), fluid builds underneath the scalp, causing swelling. The baby’s head may have a cone-shaped appearance or newborn conehead. Healthcare providers often call it caput for short.
