Standing birth is one of the least popular birth methods. And yet it is not only practiced, but some also strongly advise doing it.
American gynecologists recently shared their views on childbirth standing up and talked about three unobvious advantages of this technique.
Naturalness
Lying down is inconvenient even physiologically. This is due to the fact that the uterus presses on the blood vessels. As a result, the blood flow in the small pelvis is disturbed in the pregnant woman. This is fraught with a lack of oxygen for the unborn baby. But natural childbirth does not lead to any complications and hypertonicity of the uterus.
Speed and convenience
When giving birth while standing, the woman can choose a more comfortable position to reduce pain. By the way, mothers who gave birth while standing were rarely injected with anesthesia, since there was simply no need for it. In a standing birth, the capitation period lasts approximately 20 minutes. But the duration of the contractions is only three hours. It is thanks to this that your baby quickly passes through the birth canal and is born. For women, plus in the absence of ruptures and possible complications.
Reducing blood loss
Usually, blood loss is accompanied by the release of the placenta from the woman's body. If a pregnant woman gives birth vertically, then the placenta is separated immediately and entirely instead of parts. Doctors assure that this method of childbirth helps to reduce blood loss in a woman, and also reduces the risk of complications to a minimum.
