It may have an impact. During natural childbirth, pregnant women must pay attention to maintaining proper pelvic positioning to accommodate the current degree of anterior pelvic tilt and flexion. However, if the anterior pelvic tilt is excessive, the fetus may engage in a supine (back-down) position, potentially complicating subsequent labor—even leading to dystocia. Excessive anterior pelvic tilt is rare; most individuals have a normal pelvic angle. During growth and development, maintaining good posture is essential.
