Q: In which position can I deliver my baby?

A:

You should deliver your baby in the position in which you are most comfortable. Sitting upright in the bed with the feet on supportive pads is a common position. A supported squat or the all-fours position is very natural. A deep squatting position is bad because it increases the risk of tearing and of needing a lot of stitches. Some women adopt an all-fours position on the bed or on the floor.
