I have often cared for women who have resisted, or
not felt any urge to push - some that have actively refused, and ended up with
forceps lift outs. It was interesting to see the result for the woman I
spoke of, and I can think of many other times when talking a situation through
with a labouring woman has resolved some issue that is hindering
them.
Loved Lieve's story too. And I love hearing
other midwives experiences as we enrich each other in this way.

This fascinates me too.
Is
is just a matter of verbalising that fear??? I know it sounds dumb, but most
women when questioned say that they fear the pain.....no denying that it is
going to hurt, so is it a matter of just verbalising it??
On a similar
matter....
the last couple of weks, I have had 2 women simply stump me.
One with an epidural, one without. Both reached 9 then 10 cms dilation, and
decided they did not want to push. They were adament they did not want to
push, that they wanted "the baby pulled out"!!! Despite reasurrance that they
could do it, and that unless they were unwell or the baby distressed, they
baby would NOT be pulled out and they certainly would not be taken for a LSCS,
they continued to say "No I dont want to push", "I'm not going to push" "it is
going to hurt too much!"
They eventually had the baby when the next
shift took over, but I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this
before??
