Morning,
Well I am confused! I go to nct classes and the teacher always states in labour you should be on all 4's like a dog as it opens the canal and the tail bone helping your baby out with less pain. If your on your back you have to push the baby out harder and then potentially having a more painful birth.
Therefore, watching one born every minute why is every woman (with the exception of water birth and another lady) been flat on their back? Why wouldn't they put them in the dog / all 4's position. Is it because you dont have any energy left? or is it because MW can look up you easier?
Surely if you were on the final pushes wouldnt you turn over?
I know you will do exactly what you have to at the time to make yourself comfy but I have got confused from watching this show and the nct teacher
Thank you ladies x
