My biggest fear involves having a breech baby. I don't want a C-Section in the least bit; I don't even want an IV or pain meds! I am praying and hoping for a 100% natural birth. I do understand that things do not always happen the way you want them too and that baby will come however he or she wants! I was reading last night on fetal positions in the womb and I got immediately sucked in!<br /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's a great idea to learn your baby's fetal position in order to prepare for birth because if your baby happens to be breech, there are a few options that may help ahead of time. Midwives use certain techniques to distinguish placement of certain body parts. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
 If you are one of those moms who are great at distinguishing which body part is what, then I envy you because I have no idea! For those of you who are clueless as I am, here are some ways to tell your baby's fetal position inside the womb:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*If you feel kicks directly under your ribs and can feel baby's back on your tummy (should feel round, hard, and smooth), baby is in an anterior position.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*If you feel kicks at the front of your tummy and your belly is more squishy and concave with no hard spots, baby is in a posterior position. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You can also tell position based on the hiccups!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*Hiccups higher in the belly indicate a breech baby. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*Hiccups lower in the belly suggests a head down baby.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another way you can figure the position of your baby is to feel for a large hard ball or lump at the top of the belly.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*If the lump moves easily out of place, it's the head. The lump should also feel hard and round. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*If the lump moves with the whole body, it's the buttocks and your baby is head down. The lump should feel round but slightly squishier than the head. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
