According to Healthline, belly mapping can be used to track your baby’s position before delivery, and the steps to follow to track the position include;
1. Lying on your bed and mount little pressure around your pelvic place to feel around for the baby’s head. It will feel like a mini bowling ball. Mark it on your abdomen.
2. Employ a fetoscope or during an ultrasound, find your baby’s heartbeat and mark it on your abdomen.
3. Apply the doll to initiate playing around with positions, with the position of your baby’s head and heart.
4. Locate your baby’s bum. It will be hard and round. Mark it on your abdomen.
5. Ponder on your baby’s movement to know where they are kicking, Use their kicks and wiggles as a clue to their position. This will provide you with a better idea of where their legs or knees are found. Draw it down on your abdomen.
6. Lastly, apply the markings to draw your baby on your belly. Some potential mothers’ creativity makes them draw their baby’s position on their belly like a piece of art.
After you might have done all these, if you discover your baby is in anterior position that means the baby is in the right position for delivery.
But if the baby is in other positions, such as posterior, breech and transverse line it means is not in the right position for delivery. Hence, you will need to start some habits or consult your doctor to cajole the baby to the right position before your date is due.
