I'm just curious, because I'm a ftm and I'm filling out my birth plan, but what was the most…

I had an epidural and did a laying "squat" the closer you get your knees toward your chest the shorter your birth canal is so baby has a shorter travel distance

Thank you :) I am going to try to give birth naturally, but if I can't handle it, I will be getting some sort of pain meds

Anything but laying on my back helped me... I made the most progress on my hands and knees and well as squatting... Your body will let you know what's working and what's not. I was burning up my entire labor but I literally found laying on my back unbearable.
