What is the preferred maternal position in cord prolapse?
Women with known cord prolapse should be advised by telephone to assume the knee–chest face-down position while waiting for hospital transfer. During emergency ambulance transfer, the knee–chest position is potentially unsafe and the exaggerated Sims position (left lateral with pillow under hip) should be used.
