A lot of women are confused about what pushing can actually be like in a physiologic labor. I tell you about it in this video.
Yes, sometimes powerful pushing IS necessary… but a lot of times (more often than you’d think) powerful pushing isn't required. Let me show you why in this video.

Hi Bridget, I'm Lora Collins. I'm 63 years old and I am a retired childbirth educator and doula. I am SO proud of the work you are doing. This information is needed to empower young mothers to own their childbirth experience. I showed this video to my husband who is a chiropractor and he was deeply impressed. He has a lot of young mothers coming through his practice and we have decided to send any pregnant mothers to your course and your UA-cam channel. Thank you so much for this. The world needs your voice and your knowledge.
I so appreciate this! Also, I love chiropractors especially during pregnancy! I'm always encouraging moms to get chiropractic care!
First kid did an epidural and the counting and pushing and it was a rough birth that resulted in an episiotomy and level 3B tear. Second birth went to a birth center and when I tell y’all it was 10000% easier! My body pushed and pushed it really wasn’t even painful just intense and ended up only having minor tearing which was so much better when it came to recovery. Trust the Lord in how you were made, trust your body and find a team you trust and you’ve got this!
❤❤
Thank you for sharing!!
Can I ask what your birthing position was?
Thank you for saying this.
Exact same as me! I'm expecting my 2nd, but my first was a very long drawn out labour with an epidural and tearing. The trauma from the labour and length of time spending pushing affected my breast milk and that didn't come for a week. The whole thing was so horrible.
For this 2nd birth I'm really aiming for a home birth with as little interventions as possible (if I can help it!)
Oh yeah I was wondering what on earth I could do to make labor easier, and I first hear you say don’t push, yeah. I gave birth naturally to 4 kids and I haven’t pushed any of them. I just breathe. I can attest to this video to be facts
WISH I could show this to the horrible nurse who was telling me not to push and trying to scare me and saying I would tear if I didn’t stop. She had clearly never been through birth her self nor did she have enough knowledge or sympathy to be a nurse. Luckily I quickly asked her to leave and the next nurse said “oh yeah you definitely cannot control the urge to push but try not to add to the push reflex until we’re ready”.
As a man I seriously don't know how some people think it's okay to tell someone with a baby in there vagina what they can and can't do.
Way to speak up and get a nurse who you resonated with!
I ended up getting an epidural, but kept doing the breathwork I had been practicing during my pregnancy. I would watch the monitor for contractions, then breathe. It helped SO much even though I had an epidural, and I kept progressing along and only pushed a few times, maybe 3 or 4? I tore but since I was already numb I didn't feel it, so I'm thankful for that.
So even if you do end up doing a medicated birth, breath work helps!!
Thank you so much for mentioning that this is largely only possible if going natural without epidural. Many videos online don’t add that key piece of information and then mamas wonder why their providers/nurses don’t practice this gentle method of waiting for the ejection reflex… it’s because so many people choose epidurals & then they don’t have or feel the reflex leading to more tearing, forcefully pushing, which is allll so stressful and so much more work! I understand their are times epidurals are desired & helpful but the facts around pushing with an epidural need to be more transparent 🙏🏾
My last birth I got an epidural at the very end (9cm) and since I had a break from the contraction pain, my midwife told me to labor down until my body started to push on its own. I didn't really push at all/no tears even with an epidural so it's possible but you have to also wait/have a team willing to let you do that.
Also, for my first VBAC birth I had the urge to push BEFORE I was fully 10 centimeters dilated. The fetal ejection reflex was so strong but I ended up swelling my cervix and had to wait until that went down and I was fully dilated to push baby out. For my next births I still listened to my body and pushing with the reflex felt great for me! Babes were out in 11 minutes and 15 minutes for my 3rd and 5th births 🤗! Such a great tip to wait until you feel the pressure in between contractions. Thanks for sharing ❤️🙏🏿!
I had my son about 3 months ago at home and I let my contractions push him out. It was a wild feeling! It only took about 16 minutes once the pushing contractions started and I had no tearing and of course a lovely baby boy now!!
I had a successful VBAC - thanks to your videos and me believing you that I was built to birth!! However, as soon as I hit 10cm my midwife had me start pushing and I pushed for 2 hours - with no joy!! After 1.5 hours I did start to have the urge, but I was so exhausted (was a 36 hour labour). Ended up having a episiotomy and vacuum to help get baby out. Still so happy and proud of myself for having my VBAC, but with my next birth I don’t want to start pushing until I actually feel the urge to! Thank you so much for all this information Bridget!!
I listened to your birth meditations during my labor, they helped me relax and breathe my baby out ❤
I was looking forward to trying to breathe my baby out with my first birth. Unfortunately my baby was in distress due to nuchal cord and I had to "purple push" along with a vacuum assist to get him out quickly, which resulted in a third degree tear. I almost had to get a c-section, so I am glad that I was able to have my baby vaginally at all, and grateful the he was delivered safely. I hope I get a chance to try again with my second baby.
I also think having a good team helps. I just had my first a month ago and my doula made sure to keep me on track with contractions. I labored at home as long as I could. By the time I went to the hospital I was 6cm and 100% effaced. My doctor, nurses, and doula kept me going and even when I was tired and my hips hurt they reminded me it wasn't time yet. When I thought it was time to push and get the baby out they knew it wasn't time yet until I finally felt like the baby was coming and THAT'S when they were like oh okay now the baby is coming. My doula asked if I was pushing or my body was, I remember saying "I don't know but he's coming" then the doctor and nurses coached me on how to push and everyone kept me motivated. Yes it was painful, but somehow I expected it to be worse. And I felt okay after a nap when my baby was out. I 😆
In the past I felt like bearing down and it was uncontrollable but with my most recent baby I felt like pushing but I felt like i was going to tear if I didn’t hold back a little bit. I was able to control my breath and pace my pushing a little bit to be more gentle and use some pressure to push his head down with my hand as well to help navigate him out and I had almost no tearing at all. Listening to your body is the way!
So good! Thank you for explaining this so well !!
Your videos have been my favorite for preparing my mind and birth plan.
Thank you so much for these videos! With my second I had the fetal ejection reflex right after we arrived at the birth center (he was almost born in the car) and that was my best pushing experience. With my third I started trying to push before I had the urge and I ended up exhausted, it was extremely overwhelming, and got a bad second degree tear. With this fourth baby I'm going to really try to listen to my body and be patient again. Thank you for your educational info!
Awe ❤❤❤ I love your work and your dedication to natural birth and sharing this information. You are a light on this earth. A very special soul, thanks.
Good info. Sometimes you would need to push if your baby has shoulder dystocia and your baby is turning blue. Which was the case for my last home birth. She needed a little help breathing when she was born. And yes, I had a 3rd degree because of it. I had plan to breathe baby out.. but sometimes circumstances does not allow it.
I JUST listened to a podcast about this. So comforting to know that our bodies know what to do ❤
I am due next year but I am curious already how the whole birth thing goes. Thanks for all the info. I am scared the hospital might not listen to my wishes. I feel like everyone is doing a basic routine. Even the ultrasounds are like a random walk to the store and back. I am thankful for channels like yours otherwise I will learn absolutely nothing.
Before I birthed my first baby, our Bradley Method birth coach told me to wait for that urge to push even if I reached 10cm, so that’s what I did for the birth of our first but also our other 3 children. They all were born in 1-2 relatively easy pushes which was maybe 5 minutes-and with no tearing 🙌🏻
Thanks, Bridget ❤
With my first, I got too excited and started pushing when I only sort of had an urge to push but I didn't have the FER yet which resulted in me becoming exhausted, having a hard time pushing with contractions, and being in a lot of pain. The FER was like a hail mary, it felt like I finally had help and I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Dare I say, it felt relieving.
Oh my goodness…. My son was born in the car accidentally and I 100% experienced this. I was not preparing for a natural birth but it’s what I’m planning for this go-round (baby #3). It was so surreal for my body to be forcing that baby out with no input from myself.
Just gave birth an hour ago. Not first time. Literally had a freaking bladder prolapse but thankfully my midwife caught it. I was stuck at a 6 for 8 hours. Felt like a lip so my body was pushing for a couple hours. She had to move my bladder while pushing. Omg but we made it!!
You’re a soldier to be here an hr postpartum even if not complicated. Congratulations mama bear☺️
@@VanillaRoseLifeVanilla-rose. thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for your videos! I just gave birth to my first baby, and had a very fast labor. But after my water broke my contractions stopped, so I was able to follow them as a clear sign to push. My baby was born in less than an hour after my water broke, my midwife was even a few minutes late to the party. I did end up with a good sized tear.
I had this with my son and it was a total game changer! I was just breathing and my body pushed by itself. No tearing, 7-10cm in 5 minutes!
OB wants to do induction at 41 weeks. I’m 40 weeks this Friday, just had a chiropractic adjustment to help open up the pelvis so baby can (hopefully) come soon. Praying for a natural, unmedicated, physiologic birth!
If you want to wait to go into labor naturally, just wait. If you decide induction, that’s your choice. YOU have the power… YOU get to decide.
Stay home as long as you can, or birth at home. You’ll be surprised what you are capable of doing without interventions.
@@hannahlawson1039 that’s the plan! Less time at the hospital = less push for interventions so the plan is to labor at home as much as possible.
Why do they want to do it at 41 weeks? Can you discuss going longer with supervision ( like a non stress test)
@@patriciaa6649 Natural sometimes means birth at 42 weeks… or 43 weeks… or 44 weeks! Going by a deadline is not natural.
My baby got stuck on the way out (shoulder dystocia). I felt the uncontrollable urge to push immediately after my water broke, but once his head was almost out he got stuck and I couldn't stop pushing even though the midwife told me to wait a moment so she could try to help me into a different position. That reflex is a blessing and a curse - he was out in 7 minutes but a doctor who happened to be out in the hallway was called in to assist the midwife and he ended up reaching in and rotating my baby so he could come out. I'm thankful for the intervention, but it was not a pleasant experience, I really wish I had gotten an epidural lol
This is sadly the problem with how OB’s deliver babies. A lot of times mothers start pushing with the nurses and then they make her wait for the doctor to catch the baby.. I would highly recommend going with a more hands on caregiving modality such as a birthing center or a home birth environment
@@renemason513 first of all, as I mentioned in the original comment - I had a midwife-led birth at a hospital, which is extremely common in my country (you only have an ob assist the midwife if it's a high risk pregnancy, or if the midwife calls the ob in like what happened in my case). The only reason the midwife asked me not to push was because my son got stuck and she thought maybe if I changed position it might help him come out without further interventions. Unfortunately because I couldn't control it and I was completely in the moment I couldn't change position and kept pushing, which is when the ob she called in for help rotated him manually. Again, not a great experience but considering my son and I could have been injured during the birth, I'm glad the doctor came in to help.
I like to imagine medical midwives and OBGYNs witness a bunch of goats, horses, and cows giving birth. I bet they’d panic, rush in, then claim they saved all the animals from dystocia too.
@@haley2542 what the heck? I was literally there, I know he got stuck because I felt it. No one "claimed" they saved us, they literally just helped my baby come out. Midwifery is rooted in ancient traditions, and not all births went well every time - plenty of women and babies didn't survive. But when midwives started sharing their experiences with each other, training each other, they were able to prevent many complications. Same goes for OBs. Besides, I chose to have a hospital birth. I chose for it to be unmedicated. My choices were respected all the way through the birth. So if it was my decision and I, as the person who experienced it, don't feel like anything was mishandled - where do you get off judging the staff and deciding they intervene unnecessarily? At a certain point your distaste for medical practitioners is just a cover for your lack of respect for women's choices and knowledge over their own experiences.
@@ayeletarzouan6610 You have every right to your own decisions. But birth requires movement. So if you did not change positions to offer your body and baby an alternative path of less resistance so that baby could rotate naturally, then you cannot jump to the assumption that your birth was somehow disordered/dystocia/stuck baby and that injury or death would have occurred without the radical intervention of someone else reaching in and rotating the baby.
I was told to push at 9 cam to get the last cm get unstuck from the cervix and I never had that feeling of needing to push and then it took forever for me pushing and I felt like I sucked at doing it… but I was being instructed to and it was my first birth. This next time I really hope I can speak up and wait for that need to get that baby out and not have to “push” with all my might like last time.
This is something I've always wondered! So thanks for the info :)
The not pushing thing made sense to me the first time I heard it because when I was 16 I had a bad UTI and first outbreak of general herpes and my body had a hard time using the toilet for like a week. Finally I was holding it in so bad that when I sat on the toilet my body was like “I don’t care how much it’s going to hurt because this is going to hurt so much more if it stays in” and my body pushed against my mental will and struggle. I was so happy that my minds fear couldn’t hold it back any longer.
You hit the nail on the head… the four letter word beginning with F…. Fear.
I’m 40 weeks and four days, this is my fifth baby and only one that is late besides my first the others were early, the doctors are pushing for an induction next week which I keep saying no but their being intense about it, not sure what todo, praying I go into labor soon!
Can share midwives near Alabama? Alabama does not have many thank you!
My first birth was a C Section, at 41 weeks, I experienced no labor. My second child , I was 41 weeks and 4 days pregnant,labor was induced after 5 days of prostaglandine and other methods. 18 hours in the labor I was only 6 cm dilated. The pain was so intense, I was afraid I will ask for a Caesarian. I had an epidural. I could finally fall asleep. After 6 hours of sleep, I woke up almost 10 cm dilated. I didn't fell much pain in the belly, but I felt it in the vagina. After 10 pushes, maybe 15 minutes? my boy's head was at the border. After one long, intense push, the head was out and one more push, the body was out. A max of 30 minutes of pushing and I could feel the need to push, but no significant pain in the belly. For me, it was the perfect solution, but I guess I was lucky.
I just can't believe that so many mum's are still lead to believe that labour on their backs is the way to go! We're told the whole pregnancy to avoid being on our backs as much as possible. Why? So the baby can be encouraged into a better position for labour (ie to avoid a breech baby labour position)! How on earth is the recommendation suddenly any different during labour itself?! Sure the baby won't go into breech position mid-labour but, logically, if laying on your back would encourage the baby into unideal positions pre-labour, it only makes sense that this should surly also be avoided if possible/desired...
Just a first-time expecting mum expressing some thoughts based on what I've watched and read. In the end, your personal choices are your own to make! X
I had to push my first for 90 min, my second was born less than 10 min after my body started pushing... I think maybe the first time I was too exhausted from a long labour? Or maybe I was too disorientated by pethidine? Not sure. But the second time was so much easier!
What happens if Mum is ready to push because the fetal injection is happening, but they’re not 10 cm dilated? Thank you ❤
Im booked for an induction at 42+1 on Monday..... I reslly want to go natural 🤞
I never really understood what it meant when I was asked "do you feel like you want to push?" I was unmedictaed and ended up pushing for 4 hours, so I'm pretty sure the fetal ejection reflex hadn't kicked in, and then I maybe never noticed it. What does it feel like?
If you have to ask “do you feel like pushing”, the answer is no. The REFLEX means your body just does it, it’s not a choice. If your body didn’t do the reflex, it probably needed something else at that time, like rest before the grande finale.
It feels like vomiting. Your body just takes over with strong sensations that you can't fight and just have to get out of the way of. That's the best way that I have found to describe it.
It feels like your body literally pushing the baby out when a contraction hits. There is NO FIGHTING IT. It is entirely involuntary. My son was born in the car and my body was forcing that baby out when my mind said, “nope, nope, nope!”
I want to do this but I feel like my obgyn isn’t going to think it’s considered a real push.
Your obgyn isn’t the one in labor and you don’t have to consent to anything you don’t feel comfortable doing. It’s your body and your birth do it the way YOU want.
👏🏻❤️

Gotcha, so the issue really is telling women to push too early, thanks
Free birthing can help women avoid a lot of unnecessary interventions.
Absolutely!
