Episode 15: Pushing: Understanding the Second Stage of Labor

In this episode, we discuss the second stage of labor: pushing! You may feel afraid or worried about how pushing will go; it's not something we do or witness very often, so there is a lot of unknown with it!

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Our personal fears with pushing before we had our first babies!
  • Overcoming the fear of pooping and tearing
  • Ways to minimize tearing
  • Pushing strategies to make your pushes more effective
  • What to expect in your birth location with pushing
  • How to advocate for your pushing preferences
