This colourful Active Childbirth Poster explains the stages of labour and illustrates various childbirth positions that promote an active labour. Ideal for antenatal education, the positions for childbirth poster shows different birthing options including standing, kneeling, sitting, squatting and walking, and shows the role of one and two birthing partners for supported labour.

Designed by a professional medical illustrator and exclusive to AnatomyStuff, our Active Childbirth (Positions for Labour) education chart covers the following information that every expectant mother will find useful:

• 1st Stage of Labour: signs labour is starting, measuring contractions, how to keep comfortable, when to call the midwife.
• 2nd Stage of Labour: active labour, duration, the role of the midwife, good birthing positions.
• 3rd Stage of Labour: options for active or physiological birthing of the placenta after the baby is born.
• Kneeling birth positions: on the floor, with a birthing ball, supported on a bed.
• Supported standing and walking, and squatting positions.
• Checklist of indications to call a midwife or maternity unit: e.g. bleeding or if the baby is moving less than normal.

The Active Childbirth (Positions for Labour) Chart / Poster is laminated and wipeable marker pens can be used to make notations. Our range of pregnancy education wall charts make perfect displays for use by healthcare workers, antenatal educators and for midwifery and obstetrical teaching departments.
