How to push during a vaginal birth?

Patient's question:

I am a pregnant woman about to give birth. The doctor said I can have a natural birth. How should I push during the active phase of labor?

Doctor's answer:

After getting pregnant, if it is a planned vaginal delivery, it is very common and there is no need to over-tighten. During the second stage of labor, when pushing, it is generally the second stage. The first stage is when the uterus excessively tightens, and then the baby's head gradually enters the mother's pelvis and continues to rise. The second stage is when there is a sensation of downward pressure and a feeling similar to diarrhea. This is because pushing is more effective when the uterus tightens.
