hi,babys head is positioned means its a vertex baby means head towards maternal pelvis but not fixed means it has not entered the pelvic bone of the mother which it should have had by now.the causes for above can be big head of the baby,narrow maternal pelvis etc.if the head is not fixed the chances of c section are increased but in multigravidas the head can get fixed even after going in labour but not in primigravidas.take care and all the best.
