“PUSHHHHH! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…”

Sound familiar? That’s coached pushing - when you’re told how and when to push during labour. 

Sometimes it’s helpful… sometimes it’s not… and sometimes, it’s just a hospital trying to beat the clock 🕒

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

 👉 What coached pushing actually is
 👉 When it can be a game-changer (hello, avoiding forceps 🙌)
 👉 When it can backfire — and disconnect you from your body
 👉 What to do instead if it doesn’t feel right
👉 How having a doula by your side can make all the difference

This isn’t about “good or bad” - it’s about informed choices and timing. 🎯

🎧 Hit play and let’s talk about one of the most misunderstood parts of labour.
