A squat bar or birth bar can be attached to the bed to help facilitate an upright squatting position.

➜ Squatting can open your pelvis up by 30% and use gravity to promote downward movement of your baby.

➜ Birth bar provides leverage to get into a deep squat, which can be very effective in helping you “push” or “breathe” your baby out.

➜ Birth bar most likely CAN be used with an epidural.
