I have heard of it happening twice to a woman who was in CA for the first baby and Oregon for the second. While no abnormality was diagnosed in the woman, the first baby has some neuromuscular disorder/impairment ( though no intellectual impairment). There was some thought that a prolonged second stage which ended in a c/s, was responsible for this condition but when the second baby settled into a face presentation quite early in the third trimester (dx by u/s)this has been reconsidered. The last plans I heard were some eighteem months ago and the mother was planning an elective c/s. Don't know the final outcome. All other face presentations I have been aware of have been one off situations.

If anatomical anomalies in mother and baby are excluded, what are the chances of face presentation re-occurring in a second, full term pregnancy?
