Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Pelvic rocking helps relieve backache during pregnancy and early labor by making the lumbar spine more flexible. This exercise does not stretch perineal muscles, enhance respiratory excursion, or improve abdominal muscle tone.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
In a frank breech, the buttocks present first, with both legs extended up toward the face. In a full or complete breech, the fetus sits cross-legged above the cervix. In a footling breech, one or both legs are presenting.
