I was recently at a birth where the mama pushed out her OP baby. \u00a0OP means posterior! Her\u00a0will power to have a birth with no interventions, (other than a bit of Gas) was achieved. \u00a0I don’t consider Gas to be an intervention or medication<\/p>\n
This Mama was given a choice of an episiotomy and a big push – which she said NO!! or \u00a0a c-section. \u00a0I leaned into her and repeated what the Dr had said, then told her she could have the c-section or she could push this baby out. \u00a0She only took a\u00a0fraction of second to tell us, she “only needed a couple more pushes” – and she was right<\/p>\n
3 pushes later we had a beautiful boy – with no episiotomy But better still NO c-section<\/p>\n
You could be the next strong woman I meet<\/p>\n
