Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The investigators hypothesize that the maternal position described by the Dr de Gasquet facilitate the rotation in occipito-anterior during the labor.
The calculated sample size is 438 participants (219 in each group)

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Specific maternal position
women allocated to intervention group will be invited to adopt a posture all fours type:"support on the knees, torso tilted forward, back stretched" for a minimum of 10 minutes. A cushion is placed between the legs of the woman to limit the cuts. According to Dr de Gasquet, author of the description of this posture, the effect on the variety of presentation would be almost immediate.
Specific maternal position during the labor
women allocated to intervention group will be invited to adopt a posture all fours type:"support on the knees, torso tilted forward, back stretched" for a minimum of 10 minutes. A cushion is placed between the legs of the woman to limit the cuts.
