The room for baby to tuck their chin is based on creating room for your pelvic anatomy, not just the bones but the muscles and more soft tissues. We offer a plan for pregnancy to help a posterior baby be able to turn! Some babies may not fit the pelvis if their chin is up, away from their chest, because their head will seem bigger (in your body) and their spine is more straight and less able to wiggle and turn through the pelvis with contractions. The head can seem bigger when the chin is up in extension. References to the reverse cowgirl position can be found as far back in history as the Kama Sutra, a 2,300-year-old Hindu text that included descriptions of hundreds of sexual positions. Therefore, the direction the baby’s head faces matters.Īnother point that is important in fetal position is chin tucking (flexion).īaby’s head seems smaller when the chin tucks close to the chest. The head engages (about 38-40 weeks or in labor) best when the long direction of the head matches the widest angle of the pelvis. Here’s how the puzzle works: The head is longer front to back. Baby’s head fits like a matching puzzle piece when slipping into the birthing pelvis. We believe birth is easier with fetal positioning.
