Abstract
During birth women instinctively push in the most effective and safe way for themselves and their babies. However, midwives continue to direct women's pushing behaviours. The assumptions underpinning this practice must be examined and challenged. Midwives need to develop an evidence-based approach that acknowledges and reinforces women's innate ability to birth.
