Summary

There are several physiological advantages for being upright during labour. These include the effect of gravity on the fetus within the uterus; reduced risk of aorto-caval compression this maximizes uterine blood flow to the placenta and fetus during labour and more efficient contractions which lead to shorter first and second stage of labor. In addition, being upright during labour provide better alignment of the fetus; and increased pelvic outlet when the woman is in squatting and kneeling positions
