Nodding, he pushed again with what was left of the contraction, a scream escaping as he could feel her starting to descend into the birth canal. As the contraction started ebbing away, Margo and Angel help him to sit up, his legs dangling over the side of the bed.
"I'd really like to keep you upright if possible." she said to him as he tried to catch his breath. "If you're laying down, it's going to take more effort to get her out. If we can maybe get you leaning against the bed and try a couple like that or we can even have you kneeling on the bed if you think standing's going to be too much. Even sitting on the birthing stool might help. But I want to do what's going to work for you; whatever you think you'd want to try."
