Breathing and pushing During the second stage of labour, you will be pushing your baby out into the world. Sometimes women are told to hold their breath and push for as long as possible. This is no longer recommended; there is no evidence that breathing and pushing in this way benefits you or your baby, and it may increase your risk of tearing. Follow your urges and push as many times per contraction as feels right for you. You may find that you feel the urge to push briefly three to five times with each contraction, taking several breaths in between. -Ash
