What does negative 1 mean when you are 90 percent effaced and 4 centimeters?
== == "Negative 1" refers to the position of the baby's head in relation to your cervix. Negative numbers imply that the baby's head is still floating above the cervix. Zero position means the baby's head is engaged. Positive numbers means the baby's head has begun its descent through the cervix and into the birth canal. The higher the negative numbers, the higher up in your uterus the baby is located (ex., - 3 is higher up than - 2). The higher the positive numbers, the lower into the birth canal the baby is located (ex., +3 is lower -- closer to birth -- than +1).

A baby is crowning when the head is just showing as the mother is about to give birth.
Can a baby be crushed accidentally during birth?
If you mean from the mother's pelvic bones, no a baby cannot be crushed. Hormones in the mother begin to relax ligaments in the pelvis so the pelvis spreads. If you mean by strong contractions, no, this is nature's way of pushing the baby through the birth canal. If a doctor must use forceps, doctors are trained where to place the forceps and it would never "crush" a baby's head. Lastly, the largest part of a baby is the head--once one shoulder and head are delivered, the baby slides out. So, no, babies do not get crushed during childbirth.
