It Looks Like Maybe We Don’t Have To Push So Hard During Labor (Yes, Really)

A handful of my friends have told me horror stories of giving birth, of being ripped from V to B while pushing their baby out. I cringed as I type that. It makes me want to slap every man who lets out an exaggerated groan when they think of being kicked in the balls. You don’t know pain, you wuss!

But one hospital in the UK has found a way to achieve better outcomes for mothers and their perineums.

They’ve stopped telling women when to push.
