Taylor Sitting helps loosen the groin and hips. It also stretches the inner thigh muscles. Sit on the floor with the soles of your feet together. Holding ankles, bring your pelvis and feet together by moving your hips towards your feet.

Squatting also helps prepare you for labor. Squatting has long been thought of as a good position for laboring. Squat down, being sure to keep a straight back. Try to put your heels down by placing your weight evenly. Press your elbows against your thighs pushing them outward.
