Position to give birth

Sofia6969 post 41

I’ve never been pregnant so I’ve never experienced childbirth, but in my mind I think I would be in lithotomy position with legs spread wide in order to show my vagina to my midwife or obgyn, feeling exposed and ready to push hard. But I was wondering if there are better positions to give birth, position which help more to spread vagina and help the baby to go out. What do you think?

. . . . @sofia6969 I don't think there's a specific position to spread the labia further, but gynecologists sometimes cut the labia and then stitch them back up after the baby is born. They call that an episiotomy.

Yes on their back and I think they should go back to the days of ankle restraint for the birthing mother in the spread wide position. So she can’t move. Also they should bring back mandatory shaving of the vaginal area for “health” reasons but for embarrassment and humiliation of the new mother. Guests should be allowed and welcomed /encouraged

They should also bring back the community birthing rooms with four or six women giving birth or labor at the same time or different stages. Family members of course would be welcome to encourage other mothers in the room. Miracle of birth is a thing to celebrate not be private. No curtains. No privacy No gowns.

@sofia6969 of course, all positions where gravitation works. The best are sitting on toilet. We used it so often that body works naturally like do poop and helps to deliver baby faster
