Raw LLM Responses

Hmm, I'm sort of curious about this. Epidurals are ideally given at around 6cm dilation, and the medical personnel are trained to tell those delivering when and how to push when fully dilated later. It would be too late to delivery the epidural when the baby is already in the birth canal. Epidurals also don't mean you feel nothing at all--almost everyone reports still feeling pressure if not an obvious urge to push. There are also many approaches to delivery that aim for no pushing but relaxing and breathing deeply as much as possible (similar to not straining but relaxing everything when you have a bowel movement). I'm not refuting, just sort of curious how this would even work.
