Riassunto

Despite research showing the benefit of upright positions in labor, most women in the UK still give birth in the semi-reclined position, pushing their baby out against the forces of gravity. The author argues that this makes labor and birth more painful and difficult for modern women than it was for their ancestors. How did the needs of care givers come before those of the laboring woman? Is there anything that can be done?
