So I've read that giving birth is actually harder and less natural if you're laying on your back w your feet in the stirrups, And that its much easier to give birth squatting or on all fours n whatnot.. but to me that would be kinda embarrassing to be all squatting or on all fours in the delivery room instead of the typical laying on my back haha
what do you guys think??

I think when you're in the moment it won't matter what you look like as long as its more comfortable and easier. I hear it helps the pain too

The supine position (on your back) also decreases the area of your pelvic outlet by 30%. Some women prefer to give birth on their back or laying on their side....however in hospitals it's done for the convenience of the care provider. It's not for the women. If you have an epidural it really doesn't matter...but there was no way on gods green earth I was laying on my back while in labor. It was more painful and I couldn't push effectively. My last 2 babies were born in the water while I was squatting.
