Fetal position, also known as fetal orientation, refers to the position of the fetus in relation to the preexisting part of the fetus and the woman’s pelvis, and fetal position ROT position is right occipital transverse position. Where R stands for right side, O is the abbreviation of head and occiput, and T stands for transverse position, so fetal position ROT position means that the fetus is head down, occiput is the pre-disclosed part, and occiput is biased to the right side of the mother’s pelvis.
