Positions

Women generally like to move and change positions throughout labor, as they are constantly seeking comfort, which can be so elusive. Pain alleviation may be a result of your touch, so be prepared to stay in the same position yourself for as long as she needs. You, as her support person, will also have to pay attention to your own needs and take breaks to rest and feed yourself so you can endure the lengthy process of labor.

Unfortunately, some women experience so much discomfort that they cannot find a position that works well for them. As part of her birth team, it will be helpful if you can offer her some options. I will share some great ways to position her body so you can give her caring touch and help her feel held and supported during this journey.
