When the head’s almost too big and it’s way too late for an epidural, just remember, there’s only one way to end the pain: keep your legs spread wide around your belly and push as hard as you can every contraction, no matter how bad it hurts. Eventually, you will struggle that overdue head out. Of course, that does mean those broad shoulders are about to ram right into your very sore perineum, but that’s a problem with a very similar solution.
