Table 1.
Characteristics of the overall study cohort (N = 73), including the 10 pregnant women where the fetus turned spontaneously into a vertex position after the 36th week of gestation.

|---|---|---|---|
| Parity | 0 | 68 | 93.2 |
| 1 | 4 | 5.5 | |

| planned (primary) cesarean | 12 | 16.4 | |
| Intrapartum (secondary) cesarean | 24 | 32.9 | |
| Reason for cesarean | obstetric conjugate < 12.0 cm | 12 | 34.3 |
| fetal estimated weight < 2500 g or >4000 g | 1 | 2.9 | |
| pathological CTG | 3 | 8.6 | |
| birth arrest | 8 | 22.9 | |
| difficult birth position | 3 | 8.6 | |
| maternal wish | 5 | 14.3 | |
| others | 3 | 8.6 | |
Shown are different study characteristics for the total cohort. Five women had a cesarean section in the previous pregnancy and therefore underwent birth planning with an MRI pelvimetry. Two of ten women with fetus in vertex presentation received an intrapartum cesarean section. In one case, the reason for intrapartum cesarean section (vertex presentation) could not be determined as birth took place in another hospital. N, number.
