Additional Answers

Tyler Yeomans says:

Fowler's position would not allow for proper visualization of the vaginal opening. True Fowler's would not be recommended in delivery. You want the legs elevated and mother to be laid back as not to compress the abdomen and allow as much space as possible for delivery.
