There's an old-fashioned position called "Walcher's Position" that was supposed to widen the pelvic inlet and allow borderline CPD [cephalopelvic] babies to engage. The idea was to get the mom lying on her back with her hips brought forward to the edge and her legs supported but almost dangling. Apparently this creates a significant arch in the back and changes various pelvic diameters, sometimes for the better.  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - Walcher%27s%20position
