Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Unstable cephalic presentation means head of fetus is towards maternal pelvis and fetus position is not fixed.Fetus is changing its position constantly.It is normal finding in early pregnancy due to ample liquor and small size of fetus.Most common presentation of fetus in uterus is cephalic.
So,you have absolutely normal findings.
Hope i have answered your query.
