What position do you want to give birth in? Try them all out!
Standing, lying on your back, lying on your side, on the birthing stool, on the ball, squatting, on your hands and knees, leaning, dancing, hanging, and sitting….
Positions and changes in position are extremely important during labor. By changing positions, you can positively influence the labor process.
By changing your posture, the baby can move into the correct position in the pelvis and descend more easily into the pelvis.
Childbirth generally takes less time if you change positions. And… you often experience less pain!
This applies both to managing contractions during dilation and to pushing!
Even if you're hooked up to a CTG monitor at the hospital, you can still change your position. Ask for advice!
