* * Among all the fetal parts, the head is the most hard and least compressible. As delivery of the breech occurs, increasingly larger diameters (bitrochanteric, bisacromial, biparietal) of the body enter the pelvis, whereas in cephalic presentation, the largest diameter (biparietal diameter) enters the pelvis first. Particularly in preterm labors, the head is considerably larger than the body and provides a better “dilating wedge” as it passes through the cervix and into the pelvis. The smaller bitrochateric and bisacromial diameters may descend into the pelvis through a partially dilated cer
