When your labor starts, you'll probably feel restless and want to move around and keep busy. However, this is when it would be useful to conserve your energy before labour is fully underway. Try to rest and relax for as long as you can. If your labour starts at night, try to get a little more sleep if possible, you'll be glad later!
The choice of labor and birth positions plays a critical role in the mother's comfort level during birth and how quickly and effectively her labour does - or does not - progress. Effective positioning can speed labor and reduce discomfort by aligning the baby properly, by reducing area-specific pressure, and by reducing unnecessary muscular effort.
