Watch Here's how to push out a baby Video Tutorial

Let’s talk pushing tips!!⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ Alright mama, I’ve done some posts about pushing positions and different pushing methods, but never straight up pushing TIPS. So let’s do it.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ✅ Push as if you’re having a bowel movement. Yep! If you’ve heard this before, it’s true! And if you do poop during the whole ordeal, DO NOT STRESS IT. Your nurse will be sneaky and swift with cleaning it up, and we do not care.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ✅ Tuck your chin to your chest. This is a little trick I always coach mamas on when I’m their nurse. It helps so much!⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ✅ Give it all you’ve got. Make it count girl, and remember you do get little mini-breaks between the peaks.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ✅ Stay focused and relax your other limbs. Eye on the prize! Sometimes mamas like the idea of a mirror to see the progress. It helps to keep them focused and motivated.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ✅ Change positions. If you’re not making progress, switch it up! Sometimes mamas intuitively want to change positions, other times we L&D nurses might make a suggestion.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ✅ Trust your instincts and push at the peaks. Again, sometimes your body will intuitively know when you should push, but if you don’t (or if you have an epidural in place!) your nurse/provider can help you time it with the peaks for maximum effectiveness.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ✅ Rest between contractions. THIS! Try to take some deep breaths, regain composure a bit, and get ready to give it your all at the next peak.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ 💕 This is just one thing I have a WHOLE section on - and a lot more info on - in my birth classes! If you’re currently in the late second or third trimester, go check ‘em out, mama! ⁠ ⁣⁠ How was YOUR pushing experience? Any other tips? Share this with a mama who’s due soon 🥰
