Parturient

The parturient takes her attitude. She comes and goes. She is preparing to give birth standing up. It was like that, before.

In later times the Uji-gami became simply the tutelary deity of one's birth-place, and was also called ubusuna (birth-sand). Infants born in his jurisdiction are presented to him soon after birth, and parturient women pray to him for relief.

This communication is to develop this thought process as pertains to the position of the parturient woman during her delivery.
