I found myself in a rhythm of rocking and horse breathing making loud animalistic noises, all helping to relaxing my jaw and pelvic floor.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I heard my husband and midwife say if I reach down I\u2019ll be able to feel my babies head, I remember that gave me all the strength I needed to get my baby out, after several attempts at pushing babies head out and in I felt I huge sense of relief when the head was finally out.
