in my first labour (induced) midwives convinced me to lie on the bed for 2nd stage which didn't suit me at all - pushing in that position didn't come naturally and progress slowed right down.
Expecting to be induced again for DC2 and would like to avoid being stuck on my back in the bed again if possible.
Anyone done this on a labour ward? If so what positions did you use, and how supportive were the midwives?
