Other than lying down, there are also several positions that a woman can choose when it comes to delivering a baby. Here are some of them:

1. Standing / Half squat.
Advantages: This position is in harmony with the earth’s gravity. Thus, the pushing force far more powerful mother. Indeed, in a standing position directly proportional to the birth canal land. As if the mother pressed the ground with his whole body strength. So that the readiness of all parties needed to help the birth, do not let the baby “sliding” too fast to injury. So that this does not happen, it is usually already set up a soft, sterile pads to keep baby’s head and body.

Disadvantages: Your doctor or midwife should be little difficulty when delivered through the opening of an episiotomy or to monitor developments.

2. Squat
Advantages: This position is advantageous because the gravitational influence of the body, the mother did not have much trouble pushing. Babies will get out through the birth canal by itself.

Disadvantages: If not prepared properly, the squat position is very likely to make the baby’s head injury, because a baby can “glide” quickly. So that this does not happen, it is usually already set up a soft, sterile pads to keep baby’s head and body. Your doctor or midwife was a bit difficult if an episiotomy should be delivered through the opening or to monitor developments.

3. Water Birth
Advantages: The main advantage of mothers giving birth in water is very relaxing, because of the relaxation of all muscles of the body, especially the muscles associated with childbirth. Becomes easier to push and do not feel pain like other birth process. Do not worry baby will be “sunk” once born, because for the content of any real live baby in the mother’s amniotic fluid.

Disadvantages: Risk of water ingested by the infant is very large, so this process requires the readiness of all parties, whether used equipment as well as obstetricians, nurses, or physicians who direct check on the child so born baby. When the process lasted too long, the mother may develop hypothermia or body temperature is too low.
