The deity is typically depicted as a bipedal female hippopotamus with feline attributes, pendulous female human breasts, and the back of a Nile crocodile. She commonly bears the epithets "Lady of Heaven", "Mistress of the Horizon", "She Who Removes Water", "Mistress of Pure Water", and "Lady of the Birth House".
Images of protective deities like Taweret and Bes were placed on the outer walls of Ptolemaic temples in order to keep evil forces at bay. Edfu, Egypt.

sometimes, as in that relief, Taweret has a crocodile head on her hippo body...kind of obvious why the Egyptians chose hippos to represent pregnancy and birth...not so obvious the crocodile...though they both live in the same rivers and ponds...I suppose crocodiles may attack hippos, but that's not why the Egyptians have a crocodile on Taweret's back, I think...anyway, that in a sec...I came to looking at Taweret as I recalled the Egyptian god Bes is depicted in sort of the 'frog' prose...Angels with a lead off single and double, then sac grounder scores the runner...bounces the ball off pitcher...Simmons rbi...Maldonado scores...Angels 3-3...another hit...runners at first and second for Upton...one out...Bes is associated with Taweret...oh, about the 'frog' pose...feet turned outwards, hands overhead...see previous post...this fiftysixth in a series...see previous...the pose Tlaltecuhtli/Pachamama are in, the giving birth pose...I turned my feet out, and put my hands over my head, and now have a sore back!...hmmph...Pujols up...long fly out...I got curious about the 'hands up'...a pose of worship, or surrender, or celebration...I dunno...but one of those Moche nose ornaments looked a miniature of one of the Moche King's, Sipan's, headdresses...and I found one of the headdresses with two hands raised up where in the other headdress the stylization is two bars going up...easier to show in pics...brb...Angels made out...

Bes (/bɛs/; also spelled as Bisu), as well as his feminine counterpart Beset, is an Ancient Egyptian deity worshipped as a protector of households, and in particular, of mothers, children and childbirth.
... ... ...
Normally Egyptian gods were shown in profile, but instead Bes appeared in portrait, ithyphallic, and sometimes in a soldier's tunic, so as to appear ready to launch an attack on any approaching evil. He scared away demons from houses, so his statue was put up as a protector.

The birthing chair has been used for millennia.
... ... ...
The birthing chair can be traced to Egypt in the year 1450 B.C.E. Pictured on the walls of The Birth House at Luxor, Egypt, is an Egyptian queen giving birth on a stool.
In the temple of Amun at the site of Luxor in Egypt appears a series of scenes depicting the divine birth of the king/pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty (c. 1570-1293 BCE), Amenhotep/Amenhotpe or Amenophis III, who reigned during the 14th century BCE (c. 1390-c. 1352 BCE). The Luxor nativity imagery represents a significant artifact demonstrating important pre-Christian religious motifs evidently incorporated into Christianity. Because of its appearance in the internet movie "ZEITGEIST, Part 1," millions of people have now seen this image and become interested in this subject.

The Hebrew term for “birth stool” in Exod 1:16, obnayim, means literally “two stones.” It refers to the primitive form of the birth stool, which was simply two bricks (or stones) placed under each of the buttocks of the woman in labor. Such birth stools are depicted in the later forms of the hieroglyphic symbol for “birth” and are referred to in ancient Egyptian folk sayings, such as “He left me like a woman on the bricks.” Ancient Egyptian pictorial art shows that the two bricks were replaced by a chair with an opening in the middle (like a toilet seat) through which, with the help of gravity, the mother could push out her baby into the deft hands of the midwives.

oh, that explains that there are bricks and a stool...

In 2001 we discovered a unique object for Egyptian archaeology in the mayoral residence at South Abydos—a polychrome magical birth brick painted with childbirth-related imagery.

This statue from Costa Rica also is semi-recumbent, but without abducting the legs so far apart and elevated, like hospital positions often are. The back also looks a little arched (see below).
Sometimes pushing away from something feels better. In this carving from Peru, the mother sits back against someone in the semi-squatting position. In that way, she can lean back and use counter-force the other way.

quotes
It was in her role of a protector that she was seen as a goddess. As the mother hippopotamus is protective of her young, Taweret was believed to be protective of Egyptian children. She was often shown holding the sa hieroglyph of protection or the ankh hieroglyph of life. She was thought to assist women in labour and scare off demons that might harm the mother or child.
... ... ...
She was shown to represent the never-setting circumpolar stars of Ursa Minor and Draco.

A triple deity (sometimes referred to as threefold, tripled, triplicate, tripartite, triune or triadic, or as a trinity) is three deities that are worshipped as one. Such deities are common throughout world mythology; the number three has a long history of mythical associations. Carl Jung considered the arrangement of deities into triplets an archetype in the history of religion.
