Are you worried about your baby’s position before birth? In this episode, midwife and birth educator Lauretta Hamilton joins host Kath Baquie to break down what optimal fetal positioning really means — and why you don’t need to stress if your baby isn’t in the “perfect” spot. You’ll learn practical tips to support your body during pregnancy and labour, plus strategies to stay calm and confident no matter how your baby decides to arrive.

In this episode, we cover:

• What “optimal fetal positioning” means and why it matters
• The truth about research and common myths around baby positioning
• Simple pregnancy exercises and daily habits to create space for baby
• Practical strategies if your baby is posterior
• How partners can support movement and comfort during labour
• Active birth positions to encourage rotation and descent
• Why variations in baby position are often normal, not complications
