I didn't have the urge to push with either of mine, even when they were crowning. But I pushed like mad as I thought that's what I was meant to do.
But if I hadn't pushed? I assume that nature would have got them out anyway? Or that reflex would have kicked in eventually?
Daft question I know, never having another but I've always wondered!
