How are babies born?
What is the best position for them to come out? This is important to know because by “best position” we mean the easier and safer for him and for you.
The best position for your baby to be born is, first of all, when you are in labor and, second, when he is upside down, with the back of the head slightly toward the front of your womb.
In this position, the baby perfectly fits into the curve of your pelvis and it is easy for him to move gently down during labor.
When it comes to the lower part of your pelvis, the baby turns his head a little so that the widest part of the head is in the widest part of your pelvis.
Then, the back of his head can slip down from your pelvic bone; his little face will pass through the perineum, which is the tissue between the back of the vagina and anus.
When the baby shows up from the vagina, he has the back of his head facing toward the front of your abdomen. He is looking backwards compared do you.
In this position the labor is often shorter and easier.
Preparing for Labor
If you are expecting your first child, you should begin to adopt the correct lifestyle since about the 35th week of pregnancy. This mean, starting to do standing exercises that make your womb lean forward. This is when the baby “sinks” in your pelvis, and this is the time to lead him into the right position.
If you are expecting your second child, although the baby does not fit into your pelvis until later, yet it is best to keep your back toward the front of your abdomen from the 35th week.
Sometimes women have a lot of pain, very uncomfortable for several days before labor actually begins. It can be very tiring. However, these pains may be due to the fact that the baby is trying to turn from a posterior position. The best way to deal with the pain is trying to rest as much as possible during the night, and during the day remaining upright and active, leaning forward over the pain. Also eating and drinking regularly will maintain your strength. And do not despair. Nature is turning your baby in the best position for birth.
