The Labour Positions Guide. 15 practical positions + clear partner support guidance

Move With Confidence in Labour

A practical guide to labour positions and movement.

When contractions become more intense, it can be hard to remember what to try.

This free guide gives you 15 practical labour positions to help you explore movement, change position and find what feels most comfortable and useful as labour progresses.

Inside, you’ll find:

• upright and forward-leaning positions

• asymmetrical positions that may help with rotation

• supported squats

• positions for rest

• epidural-friendly options

• water birth positions

• a quick-reference section for birth partners

Each position explains:

• what to do

• how it may help

• when it might be particularly useful

• how your birth partner can support you

You do not need to use all 15.

The aim is simply to give you options, so you are not trying to work everything out for the first time in labour.

Perfect if you:

✓ want practical ideas for movement during labour

✓ are worried about back labour

✓ want to understand when changing position might help

✓ would like your birth partner to feel more confident supporting you

✓ prefer realistic, evidence-informed birth preparation
