I have found that delivering on the side. squatting or all fours has always been more comfortable than on the back - for the moms.<br /> I also find that there are big differences between a delivery in a Western Canadian hospital and a Western USA hospital. The Canadian delivery is more relaxed with less intervention....the American -more monitored and more intervention. Even the OBs that I have worked with in Canada are more open to relaxed deliveries - different positions, not breaking down the bed unless intervention required....<br />GPs allow for a lot more mobilization and EFM in Canada is kept to a minimum...use of a doppler per protocol is preferred.<br />Outcomes of the deliveries are no different.<br />I do prefer the "more contact/encouragement of the mom" and "less staring at a monitor at the desk" that is practised in Canada.Cartoon Charactershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871661908222892370noreply@blogger.com
