The ball for better baby position

This video can be watched with the baby positions one, and then hopefully you will have a bit of knowledge and awareness around how the baby moves through the pelvis and how both you and them create a type of puzzle that allows the safe birth of the head and shoulders. It's a fascinating subject. You can aid yourself by watching your posture during pregnancy and doing yoga and swimming to help baby get into the optimal position. The ball should be big enough to allow your knees to be lower than the hips.
