Starting next spring it will be possible in all public hospitals in Andalusia to choose to give birth in an upright position. Bringing a baby into the world is a real satisfaction for parents, but childbirth is considered one of the most traumatic experiences for both mom and baby.
Numerous experts have pursued that the birth was as traumatic as possible and after several debates, it is indicated that the best position is the vertical position, since it gives the mother a greater speed and comfort. Until now, in the majority of the delivery rooms the position of lithotomy or lying on the back predominated with the knees apart and flexed, but there are many experts who advocate a position that favors greater thrust, comfort and use of the law of gravity , in this case the vertical posture. Each mother is a world and each one will prefer one or another position, the choice will be a thing of her, but the previously renovated centers will already have both possibilities.
Keep in mind that the entire structure, material and logistics of the hospitals was aimed at a single delivery position, the changes necessary to apply the new posture will not only benefit future moms, but also hospitals, since for example, the whole process will be carried out in the same place, because the future mother can be in the assigned room of the hospital during all the phases of the delivery without having to go to the operating room, of course the beds will have to be conditioned so that they adapt to the process of dilation that the future mother will suffer, the expulsion if she wanted to, etc.
It is certainly great news that will allow us to provide considerable improvements when it comes to giving birth and therefore a much less traumatic birth.
