i cannot seem to get any info on LOT versus ROT.
One would presume that a woman's hips, pelvis on avarage is pretty well balanced.
So why would it be perfectly normal for labor to start out of an LOT position with the baby turning OA during labor but not for out of an ROT position. I presume that the baby is capable of decending from right as much as from left anterior position.
There are no physical obstacles on the right side that might hinder that baby's decent.
The only argument I found was that babies tuck easier from the left then from the right which would position them better into the pelvis.
But then again why would baby not tuck on the right and decent as easily into the pelvis as on the left?
I welcome any clarification more experienced doulas or midwifes can give me.
