Hum. So theoretically, if it's a natural birth with no urge to push once fully dilated, you can hang out for a few hours until you get the urge? Surely they'd 'let' you wait it out if you had that stupid (not so stupid in this situation!) monitor on giving you bub's heart-beat and it was fine? Interesting to ponder what they'd do if you refused to push! Hehe. Worth trying.
