Squatting
Squatting helps open the pelvis. That gives a baby more room to rotate when moving through the birth canal. Squatting also might allow you to bear down more effectively when it's time to push. Use a sturdy chair or the squatting bar on a birthing bed for support. You also can squat against a wall.
