Summary

This study tests if lying on your side with a peanut ball during active labor can help a baby who is facing up or sideways turn to the right position for birth. Researchers want to see if this simple position change lowers the chance of needing a C-section or forceps delivery. About 200 pregnant people at term will take part.
