"How long do people usually push?" I hear this question all of the time and the answer is, it varies. On average, first time moms (or birthing people) will push for anywhere from 1-3 hours. Occasionally, people push a little less (as you can see) and sometimes people push a little more. The size of the baby, the size and shape of the pelvis, your level of strength and conditioning all play a role in the duration of pushing. Now second-timers often push significantly less than the first time. So be ready for that 🏃🏽‍♀️. If you've never delivered, did these times surprise you? If you delivered vaginally, how long did it take you? Love, #dreverywoman #4thehealthyculture
