Sorry
Sorry I should've explained as its a midwife term and I read about it in my folder. Relation to brim describes how much of the head can be felt above the pelvis. It is usually measured in fifths. 5/5 means that no part of the head is in the pelvis. 4/5 means that the top of the head is in the pelvis and so on. By the time the head is 0/5 the baby is almost born at the end of labour. As I said I was 3/5 yesterday so I am very excited! If at the end of a first pregnancy the midwife or ob/gyn can still feel 5/5 of the baby's head it may mean that the baby is too large to be born naturally. With second or later babies the head may not go into the pelvis until the mother goes into labor. I hope this helps
