Sitting for the pushing stage

Sitting on the loo is great for the second stage. The urge to push can feel similar to that of opening your bowels, so it enables you to relax all those muscles and relieves the pressure – it’s a very natural place to be! This position also opens up the pelvis to help the baby’s head descend.
