I meant didn't try to force it at all. Yeah just when you get there tell them you want to try other positions. I told then I wanted a squatting bar but my body for some reason went straight on my back I was so set on another position but nope that's not what my body did. But my birth was all natural so its easier to know when to push.

I had a birthing class today and they're big thing was pushing in a way that gravity can help the baby get out. Like squatting or bring on your hands and knees. Just not laying down.

I have no tips I just let my body take control I did try to force it at all. But I suggest try squatting for you. It shortens the birthing canal.
