Movement Matters: Introducing the 99 Pregnancy, Labor, and Birth Positions Poster

When I wrote A Doula’s Guide to Labor Positions, my goal was to make movement in labor more accessible—something anyone could understand and feel confident using. Movement is such a powerful tool in labor, but it’s not always clear when or how to use different positions. That’s exactly why I created this 99 Pregnancy Positions Poster!

This 24x36-inch poster takes the concepts from my book and turns them into a beautiful, visual reference—perfect for birth workers, educators, and expecting parents. Whether you’re planning your own birth or supporting others, this poster makes it easy to see at a glance:

Which positions help at each stage of labor (early labor, active labor, pushing)
How to open the pelvis at different levels (inlet, mid-pelvis, outlet)
Which positions are best for different situations—like an epidural, water birth, back labor, or when labor stalls

Why Movement Matters

Movement during labor isn’t just about comfort—it can actually influence how smoothly labor progresses. A simple shift in position can:

Help baby rotate and descend
Ease discomfort and pain
Prevent unnecessary interventions
Give birthing people a sense of control and confidence
Open the pelvis at different levels (inlet, midpelvis, and outlet)
Work with or without an epidural to maximize mobility

And let’s be real—when you’re in labor, it can be hard to remember all the options. Having a visual reminder like this poster (or my book!) makes it so much easier to find what works in the moment.
