Dynamic Positions in Birth
Most women give birth in hospitals, institutions modelled around the needs of the people who work there. Despite research showing the benefit of upright positions in labour and birth, most women in the UK still give birth in the semi-reclined position, pushing their baby out against the forces of gravity. The delivery room is designed around the obstetric bed which was designed for the benefit of the obstetrician rather than the woman giving birth.
How did we come to put the needs of care givers above those of the labouring woman? Jowitt argues that unnatural positions make labour and birth more painful and difficult for modern women than it was for their ancestors. Is there anything that can be done?Starting with a short history of birth furniture, Dynamic Positions in Birth goes on to explore the anatomy and physiology of labour from an evolutionary perspective.
