Labor positions come in many forms: walking, squatting, standing, being supported, etc. While every labor is different many women say that the positions that they chose to labor in were great forms of pain relief. So tell us, did you use a birth ball? Stand up? Walk? Share Your Experience

Birth ball!

I really thought I'd walk around or use some of the squatting since it sounded so helpful. What really felt great was sitting on the birth ball. I could move just enough and yet didn't require a lot of energy. The perfect combination in labor!
