I didnt tear with #2,3 or 4.....

#4 is fresh in my mind....i remember when his head was out, i had to wait for the next contraction in order for his body to slide out...but midwife said to me "dont push in next contraction, its gonna be hard, but dont push, if you push, you will tear. YOu will have your baby after the next contraction". It was like someone saying 'dont look but theres brad pitt.". How could i not push !!!! ##)*)*)(*. Anyway, i set my mind in some spec mode, and i thought about anything and everything EXCEPT pushing. Bec, it was the hardest thing ive mentally ever had to do, but i didnt push.....even though every ounce of my body wanted to. And.....i didnt tear. Breathing was really important too.

Good luck.
