Delivery and shifting bones

So I'm reading an online article entitled Perception of Labor Pain and I come across this line and am utterly horrified...
Your partner can do a pelvic squeeze to reposition the bones of your pelvis and stop the pulling on the ligaments.
Oh holy Zeus. Seriously? Darr is going to "reposition" my bones during this process? Is he qualified for this? What the hell are my bones doing out of position?

Erm, not to put too fine a point on it, your body is preparing to do the equivalent of pooping a small turkey. I'm sure Betty would be happy to try to put Humpty here back together as my body sought a way to accommodate such a feat. At least, after she stopped laughing.

Can't be any worse than pretending he's a chiropractor...
