What are the Management and Treatment Options for OP Position?
Several strategies can help manage and potentially rotate the baby to a more favorable position:
Maternal positioning – Techniques such as hands-and-knees position, pelvic rocking, and the use of a birthing ball can encourage rotation. Manual rotation – The healthcare provider may attempt to manually rotate the baby to the OA position during labor. Epidural anesthesia – Pain relief can help the mother relax, potentially facilitating the baby's rotation. Operative delivery – If the baby does not rotate, interventions such as forceps or vacuum may be necessary.
