I have heard good things about giving birth in the squatting position. From what I've read it helps giving birth as gravity helps push the baby down and it is also supposed to help prevent tearing. Has anyone tried this and is it true?
Yes in general , but it may depend on your medical situation. Ask any certified midwife or certified doula & they will know more.
Giving birth
For those that went/chose to give birth without an epi, how did you do it?
Delivery room
Who all are you having in the room with you while giving birth?
I'm kind of scared to give birth. Any pointers? Please help 😦
How many ultrasounds have you all had before giving birth..?!
Do you always get stitches after giving birth?
I've read tons of blogs and even midwives advice or nurses advice and they really recommend it. it might frustrate your doctor cuz they don't have direct eyeline but long as you don't have movement restrictions I don't see why it wouldn't help. research :)
