Positions such as walking with partner support, straddling with forward leaning over a chair, and rocking back and forth with a foot on a chair can help reduce discomfort during the first stage of labor by promoting more effective contractions and facilitating fetal descent. These positions also allow for greater comfort and mobility. The closed knee-chest position and lying supine with legs raised at a 90-degree angle are not typically recommended for comfort during the first stage of labor due to potential issues with blood flow and discomfort.
