The things no one tells you no.6:
A real motivator when pushing



Mumofsix` featured blog about things no one tells you.

`I thought I would, every now and then,
add a little bit of info that
took me by surprise with my first baby.

OkMy mood while writing this blog:
Ok



I found having a mirror at the foot of the bed a real motivator when pushing. I had this with my second baby and there after (not in the bath though). As soon as I saw the first little tufts of hair I got my second wind and I was determined after that to get that baby out.

I agree. seeing the tufts of hair with the mirror and then getting to touch the head was a great modivator. i also had 2 great nurses and one awesome hubby to seal the deal too.

I didn't want any part of seeing what was going on down there! They offered me a mirror and I said HECK NO! I'm sure it is a motivater but wasn't for me. =)

I found that reaching down and touching my baby's head really motivating too, even more than the mirror. I finally understood what was really going on once I touched her. It was so amazing.
