    Correct answer:

    Caput succedaneum.

    A harmless condition presenting with extraperiosteal fluid collection with poorly defined margins caused by the pressure of the presenting part of the scalp against the dilating cervix (tourniquet effect of the cervix) during delivery. It's self-limiting and will resolve in a few days.
