In an upright position, gravity can assist in bringing the baby down and out.Also, when a woman is upright, there is less risk of compressing the motherâs aorta and thus a better oxygen supply to the baby. For women without an epidural, pushing in an upright position is associated with a decrease in the risk of episiotomies, vacuum and forceps-assisted deliveries, and fetal heart rate abnormalities, an increase in the risk of second-degree tears, and a possible increase in the risk of having blood loss more than 500 mL.
