So it's all over Pinterest that you should not give birth on your back with your legs apart. They say it's best to give birth in the squatting position since you will be pushing with gravity and it opens up your pelvis more. They say that your chances of tearing are slimmer with the squatting position and it relives pressure. I want to try the squatting position but I want to grab my baby first once it's out. I want to be the first to hold it so I don't know how that'll be possible to grab it when I'm squatting since I obviously don't want to drop it. So for those of you who already gave birth without an epidural, what position were you in. Were you able to grab your baby while you were in the squatting position?
