Pushing During Birth ? When, where and how?

Guest Blog by https://birthplace.com.au/

Ok, so confession time. When I was pregnant with my first baby I assumed “pushing during birth” was just a part of birth and you couldn’t go wrong. Now technically, you can’t go wrong but I probably would have still assumed my midwife knew more about pushing than I did. I now know that in fact, some women don’t push AT ALL and I know more about pushing a baby out of my body than anyone else on the planet! And actually there may be complications if you hand over the pushing to the midwife.

There is a few ways “pushing during birth’ is talked about. It’s handy to know the difference and the meanings.
