Thoughtful Thursday! “…Just Listen To Your Body & Push When You Feel Like Pushing…”

“I don’t need to check you if you don’t want me to. Just listen to your body and push when you feel like pushing. If it helps, keep going. If not, stop and take a little break. You’re doing great.” – Certified Nurse Midwife to laboring mother.

Awesome I love that some care providers can just trust mum’s judgement of what feels good/when it is time to change positions, push etc

What a refreshing change from the “ohmygawd we’ll all die if you push without my fingers up your hooha” attitude.
OP, so happy for you!
