This is a wonderful birthing position that women frequently and instinctively take when not encumbered by someone else’s rules about where and how they should give birth. The sacrum, ischial tuberosities and soft connective tissues are are freely moving, opening the bottom (outlet) of the pelvis allowing baby to pass through more easily and quickly. The woman can reach down and feel her tissues stretching, guiding the birth of her baby. From here she can move into hands and knees, an asymmetrical lunge, reclining or even standing—whatever her body instinctively does to assist her baby. They are one. They labor in concert. They are born together.

Leaving out of the hospital, I overhear two employees (a man and a woman) talking about women being in labor and somebody being in labor 23 hours+. The woman mentioned how sometimes when you’re in labor you’re screaming and people are telling you to be quiet. The guy’s response, “I mean you should be quiet. You’re in a hospital.” Then the woman starts talking about back labor and the guy asks what that is. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Sir, if you have an uninformed opinion, I’m going to need for you to sit down somewhere 🤐😑🙄
