Not going to say much on this topic besides the fact that reading that pushing a baby out is the same type of pushing as having a bowel movement was not helpful. I tried this method for my first push or two, and when I found that it did nothing, I focused on pushing the baby out and she came right along. Long story short, though some may disagree
LABOUR PUSHING IS NOT THE SAME AS POOPING
I did not poop, and, as I said, completely different sensation.
