A lot of women go into labor without ever being shown how to push ⚠️ So let me walk you through how to do it in a way that actually supports your body. ➡️ #1: Follow pressure, not position rules. Your body will naturally change positions based on where your baby is. Don’t force yourself into one “correct” position. If something feels wrong or blocked, make a shift. ➡️ #2: Use breath as your guide. Think “exhale + controlled core engagement” on the push, then fully relax between contractions, so your pelvic floor can open again. ➡️ #3: Move with the baby’s descent. Rock, shift, or lean forward if that feels better. Movement helps the baby navigate the pelvis more effectively than staying still. ➡️ #4: Slow the head, don’t force it out. As baby crowns, use controlled breathing to ease the intensity instead of bearing down hard the entire time. This supports tissue stretching. ➡️ #5: Trust your body’s instincts. There is no single “correct” pushing position. Hands & knees, side-lying, squatting, or upright, they are all valid if they help your body work with the baby.
