Leopold Maneuver Anterolateral view of a health care worker performing the Leopold maneuvers on a pregnant woman and fetus. The purpose is to systematically observe and palpate the abdomen to determine fetal presentation and position. First maneuver:
The superior surface of the fundus is palpated to determine consistency, shape, and mobility. Second maneuver:
Both sides of the uterus are palpated to determine the direction the fetal back is facing. Fourth maneuver:
This step determines the fetal attitude and degree of fetal extension into the pelvis. Third maneuver:
This step determines the part of the fetus at the inlet and its mobility. LifeART Collection Images Copyright © 1989-2001 by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Baltimore, MD
