Summary

Maternal posturing is used during labor to facilitate the rotation of occipitoposterior fetal position in anterior.

Our study aims to evaluate the efficacy of asymmetrical lateral decubitus for rotation of the fetal head.

Conditions

  • Fetal Occipitoposterior Position During the Labor

Interventions

OTHER

Asymmetrical Lateral Decubitus

After randomization, women are postured in pronounced lateral decubitus (side opposite to the back of the fetus), with the inferior leg in extension, and the superior leg in hyperflexion, during 1 hour (minimum 30 minutes). Then, women are encouraged to take this posture during labor as frequently as possible if the fetus remains in occipitoposterior position
