Changing positions during labor is very important. Even if you are confined to the bed - moving around - changing sides you lay on - or sitting up will help to dilate and efface the cervix. Gravity will also aid in bringing the birth about quicker. If you can walk around or sit in a chair this will greatly help. If not, moving around in the bed - even if you have to use a bed-pan can help to bring about the birth quicker.
