5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Women at term (over 37 weeks) that are candidates for external cephalic version will be positioned in the trendelenburg position 5 minutes prior to external cephalic version performance and during the procedure. The control group will not be positioned differently than usual. We will evaluate external cephalic version success and compare the 2 groups.
Detailed Description
This is a randomized controlled trial that is designed to compare external cephalic version success between women positioned in the trendelenburg position 5 minutes prior to external cephalic version performance and during the procedure and a control group of women that will lie on their back without special positioning. The women that are eligible for participation will receive a thorough explanation and will sign informed consent.
