title: [Active labor].
abstract: In the paper we underlined the benefits of the labour in the vertical position in contrast to many disadvantages of parturition in recumbent or semi-recumbent position. These not natural positions are the consequences of the development of obstetrics manoeuvres as late as 200 years ago. In our opinion there is the necessity of the changing our minds on pros and cons of horizontal position during labour.
