In obstetrics, station refers to descent of the fetal presenting part (hopefully the head) in the pelvis. An imaginary line is drawn between the two bones in the pelvis (known as ischial spines). This is the âzeroâ line, and when the baby reaches this line it is considered to be in âzero station.â When the baby is above this imaginary line it is in a minus station. When the baby is below, it is in a âplusâ station. Stations are measured from -5 at the pelvic inlet to +4 at the pelvic outlet. Cervical dilation and decent of the fetal head during labor should happen together, especially in a first labor. Sometimes descent doesnât happen until later in the labor process with a second or third baby.
