walk, move and be able to change position, causing the uterus, which is a muscle, work more efficiently. Postural changes help the bones of the pelvis adopt the most optimal way to facilitate the baby and, of course, some positions offer the help of gravity.
Other advantages are: less pain, decreased analgesic requirements, shorten the birth process, helping to regain the birth process when it seems stuck, give a woman a sense of control and well being, helps the baby to take a optimal position, decreases the likelihood of caesarean section, etc.
"The work progress handbook "Penny Amcheta Symkin and Ruth S. (2000 Blackwell Science Ltd.) is a great book that focuses on prevention, diagnosis and early intervention when there is a dysfunctional labor. Try to help maintain progress normal labor and how to manage and correct minor complications before they become serious enough to require a more complex intervention. Some of the premises that used this book and you can tell us what type of aid going to find inside are:
- Labor may be slowed or stopped by a number of reasons at any time process.
- Carers or companions can be started up again and keep progress with simple aids that are neither surgical nor pharmacological.
- Time is usually your ally, not an enemy. Over time, many problems in labor are resolved.
- A change of position when labor seems to have stopped, can help restore the rhythm.
In Amazon (clicking on the image of the book) we can envision his index and introduction.
Inside the book will find a lot of very graphic illustrations, with appropriate positions for different times of the birth process and the delivery.
If you can not get the book, there is an interesting article (in English too) in the blog Birthowl's Natural Childbirth, called "Positions for Labor and Birth" .
