[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your body will push the baby down on its own without you having to actively push. With my first I dilated so fast that they had to tell me not to push b.c the Dr wasn't there. ..but he was on the way anyway. Ended up pushing for an hour and a half. Is there a medical reason you need an epidural? I'm not anti pain control but it does lengthen the pushing phase.[/quote] Is there evidence for that statement that an epidural lengthens the pushing stage? The theory behind laboring down with an epidural is that with the pain relief you can wait to push until much later, and shorten the pushing phase.[/quote]
