Kneeling
RELATED STORIES
This is similar to the squatting position but this time the mother is on her knees instead of her feet, and she is almost close to the ground. Ancient art has been created to depict women from various cultures kneeling during childbirth, either on both knees or asymmetrically with one knee up and the other down.
The above illustration is from ancient Egypt, where an Egyptian royal is found in the kneeling position and also being given some form of assistance to facilitate delivery.
