How to Push Properly for a New Baby

The correct way to push in labor is related to the stage of labor. Generally, there is no need to push in the first stage of labor, you should push slowly and deeply in the second stage of labor, and you should push appropriately in the third stage of labor. 1. First stage of labor: This is the period when the mouth of the uterus is opened. In order to save energy for the second stage of labor, the mother should not push too hard at this time. 2. Second stage of labor: This is the stage of delivery of the fetus, and it is recommended that the pregnant woman cooperate with the doctor’s instructions to push slowly and deeply during this stage, and breathe slowly and deeply at the same time. It is important to note that it is beneficial for the mother to push if she follows the direction of her body, pulls the handles tightly, holds her feet in the stirrups, and presses her back and shoulders against the birthing table. 3. Third stage of labor: This is the stage of delivering the placenta, before the delivery of the placenta, the mother should not relax, and still need to cooperate with the doctor to push appropriately. It should be reminded that the mother should try to cooperate with the doctor during labor, and inform the doctor in time if there is any discomfort. In addition, mothers should avoid excessive fear before delivery and should not put too much pressure on themselves.
