This resource features a video that challenges the common practice of giving birth while lying flat on the back, noting that this position is often convenient for attendants but not always the most effective for the birthing process. The video showcases a variety of alternative birthing positions to give women choices, help the natural process of birth, and effectively support a woman’s pushing efforts.
