Lulu,

I was asked not to push when I was labouring with my DS Shay as I felt the urge very strongly but was not fully dilated. This phase lasted about 30 mins or so and in that time, the mw was 'massaging' the cervix away from bub's head as he was, in fact, descending, pushing the last bit of 'lip' of the cervix down with him. Alls well that ends well though, as I did finally dilate that last little bit and Shay was born healthy and happy.

love
