There are 7 superstitions concerning a sunny-side-up baby, which we will discuss in this article. If you want to understand more about the spiritual meaning of a sunny-side-up baby, then, don’t joke with what you are about to read.
Normally, a baby is supposed to be face down in the womb of its mother. This is the proper position of the baby in the womb.
Therefore, whenever a baby is facing up in the womb, we call it the sunny side up baby.
In medical practice, it is called the occiput posterior position.
Now, this is not a serious condition, and several moms with such children have delivered with ease.
Therefore, having a baby with face-up is not a medical condition to worry about.
However, the spiritual world has one or two things to say about this baby. You need to understand that coincidences don’t exist in the spiritual world. That is, everything that happens in the spiritual world has a reason.
The position of your baby in the womb and at delivery is a spiritual sign of the baby’s future.
In addition to this, it is a spiritual message concerning the life of both parents. Therefore, pay attention to your sunny side up baby.
Baby born face up: The Spiritual Meaning
A sunny-side-up baby or a baby that is born face-up is special. You need to keep this in your mind. Just like the angel Gabriel spoke to Mary about the birth of Jesus, a sunny-side-up baby is speaking about the future of the child.
Now, there are several beliefs concerning this baby, and we will look into them later. However, let us discuss the spiritual meaning of a baby born face up.
A sunny side up baby’s spiritual meaning starts with uniqueness.
That is, the spiritual world has placed this child in such a position to pass a message about his uniqueness.
Severally, parents have abandoned the special and unique features of their children, and this has affected how they play their roles as parents.
Therefore, if a child is specially designed for a purpose, the universe will ensure that his parents don’t joke with destiny by making his birth remarkable. One of such ways is by making him a sunny-side-up baby.
Furthermore, a baby born face up will grow up to depend on God.
Facing up in the spiritual world is a sign of trusting in God.
Therefore, whenever you see such a child praying or acting in faith, don’t hinder him. This is how he was fashioned by God. The child’s journey will be a journey of faith, and he will achieve impossible things with this virtue.
Baby born Face up Myths
Medically, the head of the sunny side up baby is positioned down. However, the head is facing the mother’s abdomen, which makes the baby’s skull rest against the back of the mother’s pelvis.
This position is a spiritual one, and we need to decode the mystery behind it.
There are myths about the baby born face up, which we should talk about.
The first myth is that babies that are born face up will always get closer to their mothers than their fathers.
The reason for this is that the baby has developed intimacy with his mother in the womb.
It is believed that babies that are born face up always remember their mothers before their fathers. If you see a child clinging so hard to his/her mother, there is a high tendency that he is a sunny-side-up baby.
Ancient myths also say that a baby born face up is a spiritual being.
That is, this child was not made from sex.
Although, sex happened between 2 opposite sexes; the being simply used that as a cover.
Most times, it is an angel that comes in the form of a baby. They decided to take that position to pass a message that he is not an ordinary being.
7 Sunny Side Up Baby Superstitions
The following superstitions are about a sunny-side-up baby. If you have a sunny side up baby, then, pay attention to what you are about to read in this section:
1) The child will be an explorer
The position of the baby is like that of an explorer. It is believed that a sunny-side-up baby will love to explore new things.
Furthermore, myths have it that a sunny-side-up baby will always come up with new inventions that will change the world.
It is said that everyone that has brought new inventions into the world was a sunny-side-up baby. Therefore, expect great things from your sunny side up baby.
2) Your mind needs a repair
This has nothing to do with the baby. Whenever the baby in your womb is facing up, don’t only pay attention to the spiritual meaning of the baby. Pay attention to what it is saying about you.
It is said that the mind is the womb of thoughts, ideas, and realities.
Therefore, if anything tampers with the mind, your thoughts, ideas, and realities will be disrupted.
The physical explanation of this is the sunny-side-up baby in your womb.
The universe is using this to reveal that your mind is not in the right state. It is saying that your mind needs refurbishing.
You have allowed too much negativity to corrupt the purity of your mind, and all your thoughts are becoming abnormal – just like the sunny-side-up baby in your womb.
3) Giving birth to an angel
African religion believes that a sunny-side-up baby is an angel. This explains why it is looking up in the womb.
Therefore, treat the child specially.
Furthermore, it is said that a time will come when the child will leave you and pursue his destiny just like Jesus.
When that time comes, don’t stop him.
Now, we need to put a disclaimer here: this is mere superstition. We have not heard of people experiencing this in real life. But who knows! Your sunny-side-up baby might be that special.
Therefore, keep that in mind.
4) The baby will be a reader
Yes, this is another spiritual meaning of a sunny-side-up baby.
Whenever you have this type of baby, it is a sign that the baby will be a voracious reader as he grows.
He will love to explore new things, and this will prompt him to read books a lot. Once you observe this trait, don’t stop him.
5) The baby will be betrayed
Just like Jesus was betrayed, sunny side up babies are always easily betrayed by the people they trust.
The reason for this is that they are not emotionally stable.
A sunny-side-up baby can cry easily.
He can trust easily and can get hurt easily.
If you don’t help this child as a parent, the weakness will become a target for bad people, and they will betray your child, hurt him badly and affect his esteem.
It is believed that a sunny side baby should be trained to become emotionally stable.
6) You were not expecting a child
Whenever you have a sunny-side-up baby, it is believed that you were not expecting a child.
This happens at one time or the other.
Across generations, the universe will always find someone to possess with a special child.
This person will not expect to have a child, but it will happen nonetheless.
If you are married, a sunny-side-up baby is going to be a surprise baby because it will come at a time you were not expecting.
Take this child as a gift from God, and nurture him properly. In Yoruba culture, the child is going to name great someday.
7) A baby of vengeance
Yoruba culture believes that a baby born face-up is coming for vengeance.
Yoruba people believe that whenever a spirit returns to the world for vengeance, it will be born differently from other babies, and one of such ways is to be born face up.
All of these superstitions are based on the beliefs of religious and traditional parastatals.
However, the lesson to glean from all of these is that a sunny-side-up baby is special. Treat them as special children.
Could it Indicate Bad Luck?
No, a sunny-side-up baby is not a sign of bad luck.
This baby was born for a special purpose, and not to wreak havoc on his parents. Whether your sunny-side-up baby is male or female, it is a sign of good luck.
Don’t be scared of having a baby that is born face up.
Final Words
A sunny-side-up baby is a gift from the universe. Such a child is born for a purpose and given to help your mind.
Therefore, after receiving the report of your baby scan, meditate on your sunny side up baby, and begin to plan on how to properly nurture and guide him/her into destiny. Sunny side-up babies are spiritual. Therefore, don’t take your baby for granted if he/she is born face up.

Passionate about spirituality, numerology and spiritual accounts. I write about my spiritual experiences to help all those who go through the same.
spot on. for real. this is true.
My daughter was recently born and she was sunny side up
My daughter was sunny side up and definitely unexpected. My first child @ age of 41.
I was a sunny side up baby too & all of these hit home for me. One of the biggest home hitters was the baby being a spiritual being using the parents kinda as a “host”.
•My grandmother prayed for me over Thanksgiving dinner prayer of 86. I was born in 87
•After being born sunny side up my mom’s first words to me (under the epidural) was “look, it’s the alien” bkz she said my eyes were never ending deep black holes
• I never fit into my family dynamic, I was always deep, introspective, mystical going on my own adventures either in books or in forests rather than hanging with other ppl
•My first & middle names translate to “To Descend For The People’s Victory” & since I was around 2-3 I felt like I was here for a bit reason (being realized now at 35 which reduces to 8 which is my life path number also)
So many other things, but you already know since you wrote this article 😁
This I believe to be very true! I was 36 when I met my fiance (my friend of 20 years father) she predicted our relationship 6+months prior in a dream. Crazy part is her father wad recently released out of prison after 30+ years incarcerated. He was 63 at the beginning of our relationship. We faced adversity to say the least. Then I became pregnant but terminated the pregnancy due to extreme stress and fear of having a child with such an older man. I was already a single mom whos two boys father abandoned them. Then something changed…a calling if you will. I became pregnant again as odd as that was for a man of his age and me being in perimenopause….it just seemed I was MEANT to have this child. I worked literally til the day I had her. We decided (once we knew she was a girl, which i just knew it) that we would name her after my fiancee sister who was murdered in the 80s. His sister had a love for doves, funny because while I was pregnant we recently moved into our new apartment where immediately 2 doves decided to build their nest and have 2 babies on a tray with plants on it that sat on the railing. So Holly Dove is my baby girls name. If that isn’t a sign of his sister giving us support and approval then i don’t know what is lol. Then 7.5 months into my pregnancy they took my fiancee on a parole violation (something ridiculous) so I had to now support a lifestyle that I wasn’t financially, emotionally or physically prepared for. I worked 2 jobs 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening. I worked til midnight and was in labor by 2am. I was EXHAUSTED…and after hours of labor when it came time to push I was already spent. This was my third child and I was pushing with everything i had…the nurses I think they thought I was being dramatic…til I was able to do 1 last good push and to their surprise my baby girl was face up! They got the doctor and laughed that no wonder I was having a hard time. Fast forward to home life and this little miracle who came out healthy as can be and no brusing. She literally talks and smiles to angels to this day. Her whole lead up to birth was a miracle within itself against all odds. Her daddy will be home in a month and my baby girl is DESTINED for something special! God is real and I genuinely believe with all that I am that my daughter is an angel! To good of a story not to share! P.S. she is a red headed scorpio so needless to say she has a strong will!
