Rocking chair position, I really didn't want to move from my rocking chair (they had one at the hospital). My husband kept telling me I was 'rocking' the shit out of the contractions.

I was induced and was connected to an IV most of the time, I spent alot of labor in a sitting position on a chair/the bed, or leaning on my legs and holding onto the top of the hospital bed. In the final hour or so I was made to lie on my left side since LO was posterior and had to get her to turn. While in a sitting or leaning position it allowed dh to massage my back since I was having killer back labor without an epidural.

I did all my laboring at home and found it most helpful to perch on the edge of a chair, rocking back and forth.

I spent most if my active labor in the tub. Once I got out, I was on all fours leaning against the bed until I started pushing, so basically transition only. I pushed on my back, how I never thought I would push!

On my back and on my side. My l & d was so fast they couldn't get me to stop pushing and kept turning me on my side.

At home, on the ground with my butt in the air. I lying on my side in bed for a little bit. I stood up and held onto my DH. At the hospital, I labor on the toilet and sitting up in the hospital bed.
