Any good child-birthing prep from your doctor will tell you that birth is easier upright, even standing if possible.
It's the way it was done a couple thousand years ago.
And I
only know this because of all the doctors I talked to when my wife was pregnant.
Besides, think about it.
The painful and excessive pushing is to compensate for what gravity does normally. This doesn't mean childbirth isn't painful, it just means that pelvis separates easier when it's in it's natural, upright position with the child's head down and the weight of the head to assist.
EDIT The Dunedan posted just before me and along the same lines.
