It is recommended to use the left lateral sleeping position for abnormal fetal presentation. This sleeping posture does not compress the uterus. It is best to avoid supine and right lateral positions. Abnormal fetal position is not entirely caused by poor sleeping posture. Uterine developmental abnormalities, fetal movement patterns, increased fetal volume in late pregnancy, reduced amniotic fluid, and decreased space for fetal movement may all contribute and are unfavorable for normal delivery.
