Who has done "labouring down" instead of the traditional feet in stirups, pushing up and out? Did you tear when you did this?
Might sound stupid but what's labour down?

I don't know either and I think made a complete fool of myself, above
Its been proven that the whole flat on your back with your feet in stirrups is the worst position to give birth in - an active birth, where you birth in the position that feels best for you, is the best way.
Bloody rightly so!! It's your body and you should deliver your baby any way you want to
I had my auntie & mom holding my legs back while I pushed, but I had the epidural (thank GOD) and couldn't hold my body weight otherwise I would have tried it.
P.S. I got ripped to shreds. Stitches inside, top & bottom. (Get an episiotomy if they offer it)
