In most cultures, women give birth

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In most cultures, women give birth in a squatting or semi-seated position as it is considered to be more natural and helps to widen the pelvic opening during labor. Lying on their backs is a relatively recent practice that started in Western cultures and is not as common in other cultures. Lying on their stomachs or with their heads significantly lower than their feet are not recommended positions for delivery as they can be dangerous for the mother and the baby.
