What are the different ways of side-lying childbirth?

Patient's question:

What are the ways of laboring on your side?

Doctor's answer:

In the case of this patient, the only way to lie sideways during labor is that way. It is generally not recommended to lie sideways during labor. For normal vaginal delivery, the lithotomy position or supine position should be used. The lithotomy position or supine position is the most commonly used. Usually, the baby is pushed out from the vagina during delivery. If lying sideways, normal vaginal delivery cannot take place. Therefore, if lying sideways, a cesarean section is the only way to deliver. Wishing you good health.
