The whole process of delivery
In the process of delivery, when the fetus passes through the birth canal, it should rotate according to the shape of the mother’s pelvis and change the appropriate angle. The mother’s delivery posture will directly affect the smooth delivery of the fetus. If the posture adopted by the mother is not conducive to the rotation of the fetus, it may lead to dystocia.
Here are eight different delivery postures. According to the suitability of the fetus passing through the birth canal and the convenience of protecting the perineum of the mother, we arrange these delivery postures in order for your reference
