-Walking with support from the partner (adds the force
of gravity to contractions to promote fetal descent)
• Slow-dancing position with the partner holding the
woman (adds the force of gravity to contractions and
promotes support from and active participation of
your partner)
• Side-lying with pillows between the knees for comfort
(offers a restful position and improves oxygen flow to
what are the interventions the uterus)
to assure safety and optimal • Semi-sitting in bed or on a couch leaning against the
outcome in nursing care partner (reduces back pain because fetus falls
stage 1 forward, away from the sacrum)
• Sitting in a chair with one foot on the floor and one
on the chair (changes pelvic shape)
• Leaning forward by straddling a chair, a table, or a bed
or kneeling over a birth ball (reduces back pain, adds
the force of gravity to promote descent; possible pain
relief if partner can apply sacral pressure)
• Encourage any position of comfort the woman
chooses to labor in and give birth. • Sitting in a rocking
chair or on a birth ball and shifting weight back and
forth (provides comfort because rocking motion is
soothing; uses the force of gravity to help fetal
descent)
• Lunge by rocking weight back and forth with foot up
on chair during contraction (uses force of gravity by
being upright; enhances rotation of fetus through
rocking)
• Women should be allowed to position themselves in
whatever position they find most comfortable.
• Open knee–chest position (helps relieve back discomfort)
