I WOULD GIVE YOU ONE PEICE OF ADVISE, GET A GOOD MIDWIFE AND LET HER GUIDE YOU AS TO WHEN TO PUSH. MY EXPERIENCE WAS A YEAR AGO, I BELIEVE MY MIDWIFE WASNT ALL THAT COMPETENT SHE DIDNT COMMUNICATE WITH ME THAT WELL. I NOW BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE PUSHED SLOWER WITH BREAKS [ AS THIS IS WHAT I HAVE READ AND SEEN ON BIRTH VIDEOS] I DIDNT DO THIS AND MY BABY POPPED OUT AFTER JUST A FEW PUSHES. THE MIDWIFE BASICALLY HAD TO CATCH HER LIKE A FOOTY BALL SHE CAME OUT THAT QUICK. AS A RESULT I HAD 3RD DEGREE TEARS.
I NOW RECALL ONE MIDWIFE SAYING THE SLOWER YOU PUSH THE LESS LIKELY YOU ARE TO TEAR.
I WILL BE TESTING THIS THEORY NEXT TIME..
