When do you have to push?

Question

When do you have to push?
Like after every contraction starts or with every contraction when it ends? And then take break or what?
First time mom here. So no idea.
Also i heard one should push when feels like and not coached pushing?? Any tips would help.

Answer

Your body knows when it needs to push and doesn’t need guidance from anyone else.  You can’t stop the push when it’s time 😂

Answer

You will feel a strong urge (similar to when you know you have to push out a poop) and your provider will help guide you when/how to push. Your body knows more than you think, you've got this Mama!

Answer

I think you wait to push until you feel an urge to push

Answer

The nurses will guide you. But you start pushing at the beginning of a contraction.

Answer

You may actually benefit from a basic child birth class.  It like a whole series but just one that covers the basics and any questions you have. My hospital had one that was helpful, was only a few hours on a Saturday morning

Answer

You doctor/midwife/nurse will guide you, but this is what they told me:
-push for 10 seconds at the beginning of each contraction (maybe 2 or 3 sets of 10 seconds if you have longer contractions)
-when you push, push through your belly and not through your face. If you're confused by this, think of it this way, when you poop, do you strain and tense up your entire face? If so, then try to work on relaxing your face and pushing through your abdomen. This will help reduce how long you have to push for

Answer

Your Dr will tell you when to push
