Generally, the legs need to be spread during labor, which is good for protection, can reduce the degree of perineal laceration, and mainly because the fetus is coming out of the mouth of the uterus.
Generally, the legs should be spread apart in normal labor, but not in cesarean delivery. Spreading the legs during normal labor dilates the vagina, reduces tearing, and helps the baby to be delivered.
In normal labor, the fetus comes out of the uterus. Generally, before the fetal head is exposed, you can use squatting, kneeling, sitting and other positions, and only near the delivery you can use the sitting position tilted at 30-45 degrees, with your legs fully open, hands holding your knees from the outside, and if necessary, you can make your legs as close as possible to your abdomen, which will help you to make the force.
It is recommended to pay attention to the regulation of breathing during labor and delivery. Do not breathe rapidly or shout, or hold your breath too much, but breathe slowly and deeply, accompanied by slow and deep exertion.
