Sophie sat herself onto the edge of the bed, feeling a bit like a mother, who was about to tell her son a fairy tale. "As I have already explained, you will get contractions on the big day. And those contractions will dilate your birth canal and will furthermore help to bring your babies down into your canal", she began, making sure to explain everything as calm as possible. He nodded. Sophie nodded too. "Alright. When you are dilated to ten centimeters, we will get you into a position, which is comfortable for you. Once we have done that, we wait for the next contraction. When this next contraction comes, then I will tell you to take a deep breath, hold your breath in, press your chin against your chest and start to push down. While you are pushing, I will count to ten and you try to keep the pressure up to 10. After that, I will say "Breathe" and you do exactly that..........we will always try to push three times during one contraction and maybe a bit more often, when the babies are about to crown", she explained and smiled at him, trying to figure out, if he felt alright with that.
