Stay off the bed!
This is something that I talk A LOT about in my classes, why avoid lying on the bed? Well, because lying on the bed really has no benefit to you at all.
Reasons to stay off the bed:
- Lying down slows down the progression of labour.
- Lying down can make your contractions more uncomfortable.
- Lying down increases the need for synthetic oxytocin.
- Lying down increases the likelihood of tearing and the chances of a birth intervention.
