What is the position of the patient in cesarean section?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Supine: The position of the patient is flat, on the back, with a rolled towel or an IV bag placed under the right hip. This shifts the uterus off of the vein draining the legs.

Flat : You will be in the "supine" position meaning flat on your back with your legs together and arms extended out to the side.
