Hi mama,
While this is true, some doctors may not find it easy for them to deliver your baby while you’re in other positions as they would have to be aptly positioned to deliver baby as well.
I suggest you discuss this preference with your gynae and let them know of your intent. You could then come to a comprimise where if baby is already crowning and on the way out, perhaps you could then lie on your back?
Just managing expectations and providing some perspective of the reality that exists when birthing :) however I really really am happy to know that you are aware of the optimal positions for birth and labour! Well done strong mama!
