In this episode of the Womb Wisdom Academy Podcast, host Carisa delves into the discussion of birthing positions. This episode explores the advantages of upright birthing positions, which include working with gravity, widening the pelvis, and better oxygen supply to the baby. Despite these benefits, in U.S., most births still happen in the lying or semi-sitting positions. Carisa further examines studies about the effectiveness of different birthing positions for people without or with epidurals. The conclusion is that there's no one-size-fits-all solution and people should be encouraged to give birth in the position they find most comfortable, though flexible sacrum positions could be more conducive to normal vaginal delivery.
