Summary

This study tests if a sequence of specific maternal positions (forward-leaning inversion, side-lying release) and a Rebozo technique can help turn a baby that is facing the mother's front (occiput posterior) during labor. About 578 women in early labor with a posterior baby will be randomly assigned to either the special sequence or standard care. The goal is to see if the intervention reduces the chance the baby stays in that position after about 3.5 hours, which can make labor longer and more painful.
