Can Spinning Babies’ suggestions put a baby who is in a good position into a bad position?
The benefits of all the usual Spinning Babies techniques are good for anterior starting positions as well as the posterior starting positions. The usual techniques will not put an anterior baby who is in a good position already into a poor position. Some of the special circumstances techniques should not be used unless the fetal position is known. For instance, don't do an inversion if the mother has an unusual amount of amniotic fluid or the head down baby is above the pelvic brim. Inversion is ok for the head up (breech) or side ways (transverse lie) baby.
