I am thrilled to talk with midwife and childbirth educator Aoife Kenny regarding optimal fetal positioning. Aoife is the founder of Back to Birth, which is a rapidly growing educational platform that has been designed to prepare and support expecting parents through pregnancy, labour and parenthood. The position of the baby in the later stage of pregnancy is very important in labour and Aoife is here to discuss all of your concerns.
Have you felt confused by the terms anterior and posterior? How we sit, how we move, how we use our bodies especially in the third trimester of pregnancy can affect the position of the baby in the womb. The baby’s journey through the pelvis is complex and there are a multitude of factors that affect this process.
In the last few weeks of pregnancy we hope that the baby is finding their way into the pelvis in an optimal position in order to be delivered. Aoife will discuss the specific posturing, movements, birthing aids and exercises that women can perform to encourage the baby into this optimal cephalic position.
