RE: The mechanism of Child Birth | Normal Labour

in StemSocial5 years ago

This is interesting. I was with my wife when she gave birth to our first baby. At what point is the woman told to stop pushing? I'm asking this question because the force with which the baby came out was quite much and it took a bit of expertise from the matron to catch the baby.

Sort:  

it's quite an experience for a mother. I have seen this a few times. It's very painful on their first delivery, so they have a greater urge to Push. we don't tell them to stop pushing till the shoulder of the baby is out. it might take 30 minutes to a few hours, considering the energy mother has left.
Btw, thanks for your question.
