That is such a good point because people who have never seen women
upright are so surprised when you point it out to them

As the baby's head descends Megan, the sacrum moves out and this
results in the line appearing. It is something you statr to see,
in most cases, when the woman is fully dilated, so is a great
visual clue as to the stage of labour she is at.
Occasionally you also see it earlier in labour if the baby is
posterior and rotating past the sacrum. In this case though it
does not tend ot be as long and disappears again as the baby
rotates towards the mother's left hip.

For us non-midwives, now that I've seen the photo and understand
the "purple
line", what does this mean regarding the birthing woman?
