 Birth Positions written by melmakk, January 15, 2008
I would just like to say, that no matter how many books you read, or how much imput you get from family and friends, The best birth position is the one YOU feel most comfortable in! Trust me on this. I'm due to have my 4th child in March, and I know all about birth positions. I look at the midwives and laugh when they want me to be in certain positions. Just because they say it might help you, doesn't mean it will. By all means try everything and anything that you want. I personally prefer lying on my back, with the bed slightly tilted up. I don't like to move as I have quick birth's. Try everything you can to make yourself comfortable. But only YOU know what is best for you at this time. This is your day, so you do what you feel is best for you and your baby :) Good luck and enjoy your nights sleep now while you can
