How hard is it to push out a baby?



Answer:
depends on if you have a epideral or not ...lol
not that hard,people have been doing it for years.had both c and regular,trust me ...push the baby out,way easier and no flabby belly
Well that all depends.. there are many things that could delay child birth. If the baby is too big to fit in the birth canal then it will cause alot of pain and a C section will be preformed. Sometimes the baby could have a umbilical cord wrap around them and that could cause pain and make it hard to push the baby out as well. Many things to list here.. try not to worry about all that and enjoy the pregnancy. Good luck.
Well its not easy...lol thats why they call it labor. But the hardest part is getting the head out...once the heads out the rest kind of just slides right out!
Very hard..
and I am not trying to scare you. But they had this bar over my bed, and a towel around the bar and they had me pulling on the towel while I pushed...I could not move the next day.and...you have to hold the push for so long, and take a quick breath (while pushing) and then keep the push...man does it suck!
They say you will forget it as soon as the baby is laid upon your chest..but you don't.
you do however look into that little baby face and realize, it was totally worth it!
Well... very hard... and very easy. It is hard to describe to someone who has never done it. It hurts quite a bit, but the pain causes you to want to push more and harder.and your body naturally does some pushing of its own volition. :)
It depends on the person and the baby. The better shape you are in the better off you are. The smaller the baby usually means the easier it will be (not always the case little babies can get themselves turned and hung up on the way out). I have had one child with an epidural that somewhat worked and one without. The one without was much easier because the need to push was so much more intense that I was able to get it done quickly. I have had two big babies and I managed to push them both out without major incident and I hope that my third will be the same. Good Luck to you!
I didn't have much trouble. I had epidurals with my babies and couldn't feel a THING but apparently I was still a good pusher because they all only took about 15 minutes of pushing!
umm, honestly I have found it very difficult all the times I have done it. It really, really hurts! However it is so worth it in the end!
Good Luck! I hope this didn't scare you just wanted to be honest.
I just birth on January 7. To me it is really easy to push the baby out. When your contractions are about 2 minutes apart, you will feel an urge to push during each of your contractions. the pushing sensation will make you want to push as hard as you can. you will actually feel good to push; by that time it is hard to not push.
There is really no way of saying, it all depends on a persons pushing ability, pain management, size of baby, position of you and baby, the way your pubic bones are shaped. everyone is different, my first was 7lbs 13 oz and took 25 minutes, my second was 9lbs 4oz and took less than 5 minutes.
Labor is hard and painful. However, when you get to the part where you have to push out the baby, that's the easiest and best part (in my opinion).

Through all of labor you feel "I have no control over what's happening to me", and really, there is not much you can do aside from walking around, doing your breathing, or having an epidural.

However, when the time comes to push, you CAN do something to make a difference! You can push that baby on out! I HATED labor, but I LOVED the pushing part. It made me feel in control, productive, and strong. It did not hurt any more than the rest of labor, and I knew the end was near, and I could make labor end and get my reward (the baby) by pushing with all my might!

Of course, pushing with an epidural is less effective and may take longer. I have given birth both with and without an epidural.

One word of advice: be sure not to hold your breath while pushing. Blow out while your push, then take a moment to breathe in. Otherwise, you can end up with little red spots (burst blood vessels) all over your face. That happened to me in my first labor, and I was able to avoid it in subsequent births.
physical law still prevails.if something is larger than the hole youre trying to force it out of one has to give. Unfortunantly the vagina does most of the giving.I compared it to pushing a watermelon out of a hole the size of a lemon. I could be biased though, my son was 9lbs1oz, I was a week over due and miserable, in labor 24 hours, and at the end they cut off my epidural so part of my 4 hours of pushing I was in terrible pain since he was on my sciatic nerve. On the other hand my aunt who has 4 kids has never been in labor more than 4 hours (her last) and delivers them like theyre kittens. Depends on your anatomy I suppose.
