[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, yikes! Clearly I have a lot more research to do. I have a dr appointment on Thurs so I want to be prepared to discuss this. PP- I am a FTM. According to the doctors, my contractions should naturally push the baby low enough so that I don't have to spend too much time pushing. It sounded a little strange to me too, but all three had the same suggestion, so it seemed like a common solution to me. [/quote] I think what they are talking about is "laboring down" - with an epidural, instead of pushing after you are fully dilated, you can wait for your uterus to get the baby really low on its own. Then you spend less time pushing. This is what I did and ended up pushing only 20 mins or so! But I don't think there's any guarantee that it will be such a short time to push. [/quote]
