January 23, 2019 Rethinking the Pushing Stage, with Whapio
It’s extremely common for pushing stages to be managed, with laboring people reclining on their backs and being told to grab behind their knees and pull them open towards their ears, while tucking their chins, and holding their breath for a count of 10.

The fabulous Whapio is here to tell us more.
