Why do you say don’t give birth on the bed?

Oooh I should probably do a more in-depth video about that at some point. Basically, your pelvis has the ability to move and expand during birth. The back of your pelvis as your spine runs down to your tailbone called the rhombus of michaelis can be seen bulging back, again making space for your baby. When we lie on our backs to birth this clever, moving structure becomes fixed and this reduces the cavity space available for your baby to move through by between 20-30%. Also, when we are upright to birth we use the weight of our baby and gravity to move through labour. However, if you do need to access an epidural the simple fix is to lie on your left side and use a peanut ball to keep the pelvis open (although no gravity sadly). Does that help? The kids keep asking me things while I type! 😆 Melanie x
