When it’s time to push your baby into the world, the right breathing technique can make all the difference. Rather than holding your breath and pushing as hard as you can, breathing during pushing allows you to conserve energy and control your movements. One effective technique is to take a deep breath in, hold it for a moment, and then push while slowly exhaling. This helps you maintain control and avoid straining yourself.
Pushing is physically demanding, and it requires focus and coordination. By using proper breathing techniques, you help your body do the work, avoiding excessive fatigue or
unnecessary strain. Your healthcare team will guide you through this stage, helping you push effectively and safely.
At Borneo Mother & Child Hospital, we ensure you’re supported every step of the way, with expert coaching and encouragement to make your pushing phase smoother and more manageable.
