What's this in my book about no pushing and just birth breathing?! It was just a tease in this chapter and the book said it would explain more later. This seems so crazy!
It's called an "Open Loop" in hypnosis... Gets your mind thinking about something without going into depth on it..
The idea is that you let your body do its job to birth the baby out, and instead of calling it "pushing" it's called "birth breathing"... It sounds odd to say, but when you get to that point of L&D you'll understand in that you're working WITH your body to guide the baby out instead of forcing your body to do something...
It's very similar to a large bowl movement when constipated. You are more comfortable and make better progress not forcing/pushing it out, but breathing, relaxing, and letting your body naturally move things out.
