@organimama: This was my home birth just over 2 years ago - and I’m due with baby 3 any day now 🙌🏼 Ask your provider if they will support a 2-step delivery! In most scenarios, this is normal, safe, and ideal!! Can help prevent tearing, reduce the risk of shoulder dystocia, and give baby the opportunity to rotate on their own before the shoulders and body come out. (And of course, some babies may just come right out in one contraction without you even trying to push them 😂). There’s usually no need for your provider to put hands on baby’s head, pull on baby, or coach you to push with all your might if you’re in between contractions!
