Positioning in the Womb

Why do some unborn babies lie left to right or right to left in the womb?

Answer:

Some babies just prefer one position over the other, the same way all people find certain positions more comfortable than others.

Your posture can also have a big influence on baby position in the womb. A lot of slouching back will encourage baby to take a more relaxed, posterior posture. Lying to one or side or another most frequently could also influence what side your baby is on.

If you'd like to change your baby's position, pay attention to what your posture and positioning are like throughout the day and at night. It's possible that by changing the way you're situated, you can get your baby to turn to a better position.
