Aboriginal people traditionally gave birth in various ways depending on the specific cultural practices of each group. Many women utilized the support of experienced female kin or midwives during labor, often in a communal setting, such as at home or in a designated birthing area. Birth positions could vary, but many women preferred to labor in a squatting or kneeling position to facilitate delivery. After childbirth, practices for caring for both mother and child included specific rituals and customs to promote healing and bonding.
