It wasnt really the pushing stage for me. It was the whole thing. I just let it happen how it was going to. If it wasnt a vbac, I'd say labour at home as long as possible because then they arent in a hurry to get you out of the room.

And when I say my sisters labours were short - we are talking 5-15 minutes total. Hence the many different positions.

Basically, only push if you know you have to. Sometimes you can resist the urge, and when you can, do.
