"Look, your baby's finally starting to open you up. The head's right there. It's got a lot of hair, the same colour as yours."
"C'mon, you can give me little pushes, right? Just liiittle pushes, like this- ah, ah, ah. Yeah, just like that, there we go."
"Shh, shh... It hurts, I know. But you're screaming a lot already, and you're not even crowning."
"Keep going, small pushes, ease the head out."
"It's coming out so slowly, I know. But you need to be gentle, you'll tear if you're not careful..."
"Look at that, now you're crowning! Reach down and feel how big the head is. You'll need to rest, let your body adjust."
"No, don't push- *stop* pushing, let yourself stretch... Pant like this, huff huff huff... Pant it out..."
"I know, it's so much pressure... you're still going? You need to push that bad, hm?"
"See? There's something to scream about... I said you were going to tear, and you didn't listen to me."
"But look, the head is out... I know, that hurt a lot, didn't it?"
"Listen to me now, keep pushing.. we've got to get those shoulders out."
