I gave birth on my back all 3 times. It was the only position I could get myself into. I also laboured on my side and couldn't move from that postion, as much as the midwives tried to get me moving, I just couldn't.

I think in the moment you do whatever feels most comfortable for you.
Exactly that. I don't know that I preferred being on my back, but during almost my entire labour I couldn't/didn't want to budge from lying on my side. I kind of wish they'd helped me into other positions for pushing because it might have been a bit quicker and easier, but I guess I don't really know.
