As for side lying as an option for a woman with SPD, the research I did, support this as a favorable options. I also checked with a midwife who agreed it would be much better than supine because it takes the pressure off the pubic bone. I have also successfully used side lying for VBAC moms, although, I did find "all 4's" and the "tug of war" position to be the most effective. Thanks for the comment.

Also, I do not recommend side lying for a woman with SPD or a woman VBACing a baby (especially when there may be concerns regarding pelvic size) unless labor is happening too quickly. Like supine, it can contract the pelvic opening. Hmm, I’m having trouble visualizing Herrera’s suggestion and how that keeps the knees from opening too wide in the squatting position.
