I have read a very interesting interview that hides some beads about the most recommended position to give birth.
The statements are not from a gynecologist or a midwife or an expert in natural childbirth, but from Ata Pouramini, a graduate in Chiropractic Science and a Master in Science and a Doctor in Chiropractic from the University of Portsmouth, in the United Kingdom.
The specialist states that "birth is the first physical stress of the human being" and that The birth position with the woman lying on her back does not help at all.
He says that in this position the force that is carried out to remove the baby is equivalent to 20 kilos while if some type of instruments is used, it is equivalent to 40 kilos.
According to him, the delivery that does not go against the law of gravity such as squatting or four-legged delivery in which the baby's own weight contributes to the birth improves the woman's posture and prevents her from suffering from the mother's spine as well as the baby's.
The funny thing about all this is that a professional from another branch of medicine such as a chiropractor is the one who recommends vertical delivery to benefit the health of the spine.
It means that from different fronts it is being considered that the horizontal delivery position is not the most appropriate to give birth and that it could have more complications than benefits.
