In rural India,home delivery is the custom till now.Govt is trying hard to educate people for a hospital base delivery,yet people are...,may be due to poverty,lack of education etc.All of these home confinements are been attended by Traditional Birth Attendants (TBA or DAIs').Obviously they do deliver the baby in a squatting position,sometimes even they take it out from back of the parturiant lady.We do have experience of refusing the dorsal or slanting labour tables by ladies who had delivered at home previously in a squqtting position.They do sometimes get down from the labour table and squat or go on her knees down on the floor.Yet, keeping aside the other factors of maternal risks, delivery in a squatting position,vis-a-vis in dorsal position, I suppose outcome is same:rather time for second stage of labour is a little bit shorter with squatting position.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
