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.

Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine. Eighty percent of the time it is idiopathic, meaning no one knows the reason for the curvature, but it can run in families. Poor posture or carrying heavy book bags does not cause it. Scoliosis usually begins in children who are between 10 and 14 years of age.
