Different Birthing Positions Can Save Your Labor & Delivery!

http://www.BabyBirthingPositions.com Why are different birthing positions important during labor and delivery? Changing positions during labor, and moving around when giving birth, offers quite a few benefits for the pregnant woman giving birth and for the baby.
Some are obvious benefits to the mother in labor include increased comfort and reduced pain, distraction, and an enhanced sense of control: merely having something active to do can relieve the sense of being overwhelmed and out of control during labor and delivery.
Different birthing positions offer equally important effects on the baby and on the progress of labor. Changing positions during labor can change the shape and size of the pelvis, which can help the baby's head move to the optimal position during first stage labor, and helps the baby with rotation and descent during the second stage. Birthing positions such as swaying motions, walking, climbing stairs, and swaying back and forth are especially helpful with this.
Movement and upright positions can help with the frequency, length, and efficiency of contractions. The effects of gravity can help the baby move down more quickly. Changing birthing positions helps to ensure a continuous oxygen supply to the fetus, rather than causing supine hypotension by lying on your back or even semi-sitting.
