Uterine position describes how the uterus sits in the pelvis. A normal uterus is midline (not towards the right - dextrorotated - or left - levorotated). A normal uterus may lean toward the front (described as anteverted) or the back (retroverted). If it leans very far with a more acute angle, it could be called anteflexed or retroflexed. All of these "leanings" are normal variants.
