bilirubin levels have plateaued
milk has come in
weight looks good
parents have both been able to get just a tad more sleep, which has made a world of difference

Doesn't it seem like the pushing/effortful part should be done and peace and comfort should follow? Why still pushing? I hope you and Joel are healthy. xo Abby
The transition part of labor often has people wondering if they can take it any more and doubting that they're going to be able to continue handling the birth process.
The pushing part at least has the advantage of feeling like the homestretch (and feeling like you're getting to do something and less like you're mostly just waiting for the process to run its course), even though it still requires effort.
