Anyone know what that means?

Baby is breech and back to back..is it shorthand for that?

Thanks!
 
It's medical lingo for "back to back"--Persistent Occiput Posterior. Occiput is the baby's head, so it just means that the baby is presenting with the back (posterior) of his head, rather than the front.
 
I'm sure it is presenting Occupit posterior or persistant occuoit posterior, meaning back to back.
 
Oh Thanks! I thought it would be that but just wanted to make sure :-)
