Question
The doctor said the baby engaged during the pregnancy check-up, but a few days later, the baby’s buttocks and feet positions swapped. Will the baby’s position change after engaging?
Answer
During the engagement phase of labor, the baby’s body will undergo changes, including angular transformations during childbirth, which are normal physiological phenomena. Before birth, the baby’s position will continue to change. Through these changes and forces, the baby can be born smoothly through the vagina. Therefore, this change in the baby is normal.
