When I had DS I found the labour really hard/painful but the pushing felt like a relief because my body just took over. I remember the MWs telling me not to push at one many point but I really couldn't. I ended up with a third degree tear.
I've heard that 'breathing the baby out' can minimise the risk of tearing...but actually how does one does this?

Probably a silly question but how do you STOP pushing?
