FIRST THINGS FIRST: WHY DO BIRTH POSITIONS MATTER? Your position in labour isn't just about comfort - although that is important! Different positions can: » Help open the pelvis to make more space for your baby. = Work with gravity to encourage your baby’s descent. + Improve oxygen flow for both you and your baby. « Encourage more effective contractions. + Reduce pain and pressure. = Help you feel more in control. © BETTER MATERNITY THE EARLY LABOUR DANCE: FINDING YOUR FLOW During early labour, you might not feel like doing much and that’s okay! However, movement can be your friend. The focus here is on comfort, progress, and helping the baby descend while conserving energy. Here are some positions that can help: = Standing or walking: Gentle movement can ease backache and help with rhythm. = Swaying: Leaning against your partner or a wall and gently swaying your hips from side to side can be very comforting and help to manage early contractions. » Using a birth ball: Sitting on a birth ball and rotating your hips in gentle circles can help open your pelvis and encourage your baby to move down. = Side-lying: If you're tired or need rest (or have had an epidural), lying on your side with a pillow between your knees keeps your pelvis open and allows for relaxation. » Semi-sitting/reclined: Common in hospital births, allowing visibility and support.
