thank you so much for posting this article! what a great read! i too wished i had of read it while pregnant with DD1.

I disliked the way the staff were urging me to push constantly, when in reality i was only getting urges on the 2nd and 3rd waves of the contraction. i found pushing on the first, weaker urge wasted sooo much of my energy. in the end, i used a mirror so that at least i could focus on that instead of what they were saying. and then, when they told me to stop pushing i told them that they would have to tell my body that, cause i was no longer in charge of it! and DD came flying out at 100 miles an hour LOL!

I'll def read this article if i fall pg again!
