What exactly is happening within the body when we try to push out baby...? This is the crux of todays conversation. 

 We've all seen the movies of a dramatised birth with the expectant mother straining and 'pushing' with every ounce of her being. But what exactly is going on internally? 

Today I draw on my education, client experiences as well as my own personal experiences, to explore what is actually happening anatomically when we push compared to one other strategy; softening and opening. 

We touch on 4 key concepts:

• The Uterus as the primary, involuntary, 'pushing' muscle
• The power of the poop!
• Tuning out of your surroundings, to tune inwards and how your body is birthing baby
