A nine year follow up study of the delivery pattern of 119 women after delivery in the persistent occiput posterior position and their occipito‐anterior controls. The studied parameters were: number of deliveries, number of repeated cases of persistent occiput posterior position and operative deliveries. Deliveries in the occipito‐posterior position were more common in the study group than in the controls ( P = 0.031). Except for this, no statistically significant differences were found between the groups. According to the results, recurrence of the persistent occiput posterior position is common. A history of delivery in the persistent occiput posterior position does not seem to have any major impact on future childbearing.
