Answer 3

when you push do as if you are blowing out air--al the way till no more, but push kinda down at the same time. The pushing takes away the pain of the contractions and it kinda feels better and you know you're getting closer so it's motivation.I pushed for an hour, his head was right there, you could see the hair for 45 minutes.I was having contractions 10 minutes apart at my house for 2 days, then i went in for a prenatal checkup and they told me i had to get induced due to high blood pressure. They induced me at 5pm i delivered at 12:12 am. I did not p**p lol but i also didnt eat all day, idk if that had anything to do lol but i did puke a whole lot! But i was on magnesium and that makes you feel like you got hit by a truck! ..well idk i didnt touch down there for a lil while because i ripped and there were stitches...and i dealt with a ton of soreness down there for like 2 months. But i had s*x before you were suppose to, i think like 4 weeks after and i felt too tight.

Answer 4

1. pushing feels like you are taking a gigantic p**p

2. I pushed for 30 minutes although it didn't seem like that long

3. my water broke at two in the afternoon and my son was born at 12:11 the next morning so I think like 10 hours again didn't feel like that long.

4. crowning feels like you have to p**p

5. I didn't p**p when I pushed but alot of women do I wouldn't worry about it the docs see it ALL the time

6. it takes like 5-6 weeks depending I tore from hole to hole having my son but I wasn't in much pain at all afterwards it was more just uncomfortable I never even took pain pills for it.

I think every womans birth experience is different I had a wonderful one and did mine all natural. No matter what it's like everyone has the same end result an amazing miracle. Good luck and just go with the flow your body knows what to do and also congratulations because being a mom is the best thing in the world.

Answer 5

I had an epidural and could not feel a dang thing. I just kept trying with all my might to try to push and breathe as they told me to. I push for 1/2 an hour. My water broke at 8:00 in the morning, I waited and went to my Dr.'s appointment early that afternoon and was admitted and had my son at 10:32 that evening. I really couldn't feel anything. I was petrified of doing #2, luckily I went as soon as I got put in my room. So, that was a lucky break. I wouldn't have cared though if I would have. Things move so fast with everyone on there and wanting to know that the baby is okay and getting sewn up afterwords because I tore myself alittle bit. I probably was tight a few weeks later. Because when hubby and I had our first alone time after baby was born. It hurt like He&*.

Answer 6

Ok...if you really want to know lol

Pushing-in one word SUCKS.  It seriously feels like you are trying to....p**p.  

I pushed for 2 hours straight and it sucked sooo bad because I had 3 epidurals I still felt everything.

I was in labor for a total of 16 hours.

Crowning is a strange sensation.  If you dont have an epidural-or it doesnt work like its supposed to-you feel that baby's head right down there and I remember thinking oh my gosh it feels so big and its about to come out that little hole!!!

I DID p**p when I pushed.  I was emabarrassed at first, but then i was like these people have seen everything before so I dont care!!!  

They tell you not to have s*x for about 6 weeks after you  have a baby.  I asked my husband if he could tell if I was looser or anything when we did it after I had my baby and he said no-it felt the same.  So  I hope that helps........

Answer 7

1. Pushing feels like extreme pressure.  You will feel a strong desire to push.

2. With my first, I pushed for maybe 5 minutes, with my second I pushed for about 20 minutes.  Everyone is different though.

3. With my first, I was in labor for 8 and a half hours and with my second, I was in labor for 6.  But I was induced with both.

4. It's that pressure again.  It's very strong and intense and you will want to push when the baby crowns.

5. I don't remember if I did or not.  I have heard lots of women freak out about pooping while pushing.  It may happen and you don't know if you did or not; but believe me when you're pushing, that's your LAST concern!

6. Immediately.  Your v****a is a very cool muscle.  It's very elastic and will go back to normal almost immediately.  As a matter of fact, after I had my first, when my husband and I got the go ahead, it was a little sore, almost like being the first time.
