Thanks leanne for posting this study. Updated: 6:33 p.m. ET March 7, 2006 First-time pregnant women who give birth in a kneeling position
experience less pain than those who deliver in a seated position, researchers in report.. Over the last 20 yrs or more of attending homebirths,
I have observed that in undirected labour and births, women nearly always choose the kneeling postion
to both labour and birth in. I have rarely seen a woman sit or lie down to
birth and very few instinctively choose squatting. I guess what the women have
been telling me is what the research found…it hurts less and gives more
flexibility of movement. MM |
