Positioning during delivery can help prevent a potential c-section.

Inversions can be very helpful later in pregnancy and during labor. Our midwives are big fans! "The forward-leaning inversion potentially makes room for a good fetal position by untwisting any ligaments to the lower uterus and cervix that may be twisted from sudden stops or a habit of a twisted posture. Kneeling afterward allows temporarily lengthened ligaments to align the uterus with the pelvis. The cervix may become less tipped or tight and then able to let baby’s head to position well, and the cervix to dilate in labor more easily."
