Babies toss, turn and tumble in the womb. As they grow, space becomes a premium, and they may move around less often. Most babies finally settle into a head-first position in the last days of pregnancy — the easiest position for the birth process — but some babies don’t get the memo. This can affect the birth process, which is why it’s important to know exactly how the baby is positioned before you go into labor.
