The modern form of child birth in hospitals, where they lay the mother flat on their back with legs spread on stirrups, is incredibly uncomfortable for women not on pain meds. When women have natural births they prefer other positions, like the one in this comic, sitting down or squatting, or partially submerged in water.
putting women in stirrups when it's time to push is for the doctor's convenience and nothing else. The way the woman in the comic is laying or squatting are the most natural ways to give birth and the way our bodies are designed to birth.
Learned all this from my mom, who insisted on having natural births for me and all my siblings, not vaccinating us, having us birthed at home, and generally being a better mom. She read a lot of books on it, and how it affects both the mother and child. Really glad she did that, too, considering how corrupt modern medicine and society has become, especially with how antagonistic it's become against children, mothers, and tradition (if they're White).
