The thing is. If you actually calm your self down and not think pushing is some race to the finish line. You can allow your vagina muscles to actually squeeze baby out with little to no pushing. Small tiny pushes while your contractions happen. Burning or stinging means baby is coming so don't push take a breather and breath deeply then small push. Allow it to stretch and don't be afraid to even put your hand down and have a feel what's happening or to even massage the opening a little. This is easier in water than a birth table. Or on all fours.

Never let a nurse or doctor tell you how to push. Ignore them. I always do what I feel is right. They will tell you not to push yet, but I will always slightly push in contractions, the pressure eases pain. Even if they demand I push HARD, I will nudgingly push and stop if I feel pain or soreness. My babies only take 1-2 pushes, and I’ve never torn. Listen to your body, not a stranger with a sense of superiority. Nature can’t be determined by schedules and threats. Even my “late babies” came before any doctor could induce. Even if a baby is late or early, they aren’t, it’s more likely that a doctor messed up their educated guess of gestational age. Every race has different size variations at any age, and there is truly no way to KNOW anything. Some baby’s are big, others small. It doesn’t mean anything is wrong. Also, GO NATURAL! It’s less pain in the long run. Medicine will numb you, and you will not feel how you are hurting yourself. So many reasons to go natural. Those interventions can cause life long back pain, and distress your baby in the womb, only causing further complications. Finally, RELAX!!! Trust in Mother Nature. Millions of women before you have given birth successfully on cave floors, why are you special??? This is what a woman’s body is designed to do! I fully believe that fear mongering is the reason women scream bloody mother. When woman are screaming, it’s out of psychological fear from all the horror stories they are told. Tensing up in fear won’t help delivery. Trust the process, go with the flow.

Honestly in my experience my body was literally doing it for me I didn’t have to do much pushing . It’s pretty amazing what our bodies can do .

Just had my baby last week and they told me to hold my breath. Third degree tears now... wish i would have informed myself about actual delivery, i just assumed all doctors would be great and know what is best for everyone, not just "this is what i learned 30 years ago in school so" but here we are lol

I've been practicing this when (tmi) going...*ahem* # 2, and honestly it helps so much even then!

If youre a trained singer like me--breathe like youre about to nail the loudest highest note ever and let the air just keep going down and opening everything up.

I did this but the nurses kept telling me to hold my breath 😢 I wanted to breathe through my pushes but for some reason the doctors were so against that

Pushing like that when you have a bowl movement it is also not indicated, as it can lead to hemoroids or worsening of them , especially during pregnancy. Learn it the hard way 😊 so you also push through breathing out during a bowl movement.

I was only in labor for 2.5 hrs for my last baby she basically slid out of me.

Thank God for ladies like you informing about the truth ❤❤❤❤

Thanks. I’m pregnant with my second baby and while I didn’t feel anything (thanks to my epidural) I am still scared of tearing. I had a 2nd degree tear last time

I’m having my third in a few days and I’ve learned to ignore doctors and listen to my body. With my first I took epidural I pushed how they wanted me to and had tears and hemorrhoids. My second because it was unexpected I did absolutely nothing. No one in my ear telling me to push, no epidural, no hospital bed (toilet thought I had to use the bathroom). My baby 100% guided me and my body did what it was created to do. No tears no hemorrhoids nothing! and fast recovery. I know it can be different for every pregnancy, not sure how the one I’m in now will turn out but now I know what I want and don’t. OBGYn are surgeons they come in and then they go to the next. Eliminate the noise and let your voice speak up! Or tell your partner to speak for you when you are lost in the moment.

Wish I came across this 4wks ago! But instead I got a 3C degree tear.

The doctor told me to hold my breath through pushes and I fainted twice from the head pressure

Thank you!!! I never understood that, because when I went into labor, I remember purposely pushing my baby out of my vagina and not my butthole, enter me it is definitely a different kind of feeling and pushing. I did the same thing with my son, and after that I told all the women don't push like you're having a bowel movement.. so I am so glad that you made this video a year ago because it's very important.

Sounds like pooping😅 I’ve struggled with bowel movements my whole life and it’s literally the worst trying to hold your breathe and poop instead I’ve always let my body do it’s thing haha. I’m due in less than a week and I’m hoping I’ll remember to rely on my natural instincts and not the doctors telling me what to do🥴

Had my baby a few days ago and I pushed like hell( I know the correct technique); the pain was so intense that I just wanted baby out. I had no tears thankfully because I did a lot of work prior to. This was my first delivery with no tears.

I wanted to do this and was told off saying I was wasting my breath 😤

My physio (a saint) told me push from the sides, use your obliques and notice how your whole pelvic region just gives and relaxes.

The issue is that most don't practice this before labor and epidural s make it really difficult to have that control

Thank you ❤

Thank you!!!!!

I'm glad this works for some but my baby just shoved his way out in a hurry and ripped me allll the way open. Sometimes it's not about how you push at all.

Thank you so much this really helps I was wondering if u can make one about how to push them out out quicker because I’m due really soon and I need help

This makes sense to me😊 love this

i understand this is to help, but as a first timer... we don't know what you're talking about 😭

Perfect circle ❤

Lady I’m in extreme pain I’m not thinking about blowing out candles

Don't hold your breath when you're having a bowel movement either!

They always tell u in the hospital to hold ur breath and to act like ur pooing

Very nice. Do you have any maternity dresses that I can have to wear

This doesn't make any sense. The whole reason you are told to hold your breath in is to increase intrathoracic pressure, which in turn will help you increase intra-abdominal pressure and contribute to your pushing efforts.

How are we supposed to remember all this when we're actually in labour?

I could be wrong but don’t nurses and doctors want you to push and get the baby out as quick as possible to prevent the baby from suffocating in the vaginal canal?

If you push like for a bowel moment maybe you should see a doctor and make some diet changes 🤣

Good to know

I didn't do any technique and no one told me about how to push I just push while.holding my breath but didn't get any tear at all. My baby's weight is 2700gms

🤷🏻‍♀️ I just pooped mine out

Are u really Prego?

I really don’t know where to ask so I’m gon comment here… if I want to avoid 💩 in front of everyone, do I do enema? What do people do to cleanse their gut out before delivery? Help please 😭😭

Im 7 months and so scared!

Why are nurses saying to hold your breath 10 seconds like who is right than ?

Wow

Oh god really

Or give birth on all fours or squatting.

🙉🙉🙉🙈

❤❤❤❤

Show me birth

I’ll never be pregnant ever again 🤣🤣😭😭😂😂 it’s so weird and funny how the media fights to manipulate people to do what they want them to do.. I still don’t have a house, oppression, and child support is not reliable.. (it’s better to be homeless and not pregnant verses homeless and pregnant 🎯🎯)
