They offered it to me because I kept asking DH what was going on down there, but it would really freak me out to see it myself. I was motivated enough, especially after they told me they saw a lot of brown hair. I wanted to see it too.... and not sticking out of my who-ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-you-use-a-mirror-while-pushing#post-168104 Thu, 24 May 2012 17:07:16 +0000 s1lly 168104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did and it helped me see how her head was moving down </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-you-use-a-mirror-while-pushing#post-168102 Thu, 24 May 2012 17:05:52 +0000 mrs. wagon 168102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no! no! no! I asked Wagon Sr. to just give me a play by play. That was fine enough for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-you-use-a-mirror-while-pushing#post-168081 Thu, 24 May 2012 16:37:03 +0000 skibobrown 168081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't really want to see everything, so I would have preferred not to have a mirror. However, they did wheel one over without really asking me. In the end I think it was somewhat motivational to actually see the progress that I was making (especially b/c I didn't believe my husband when he said he could see the head). I mostly didn't focus on the mirror though, since all of the blood and carnage down there was kind of disturbing to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-you-use-a-mirror-while-pushing#post-168057 Thu, 24 May 2012 16:21:44 +0000 Mrs. Bee 168057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes they showed me a mirror when I was near the end to motivate me. I barely remember it now though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-you-use-a-mirror-while-pushing#post-168036 Thu, 24 May 2012 16:15:45 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 168036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried it, but it just gave me anxiety because i saw her head suck back in at the end of every contraction and i thought she was never going to come out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-you-use-a-mirror-while-pushing#post-168031 Thu, 24 May 2012 16:14:56 +0000 Shimmer 168031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'd like to have one...

Did you use a mirror? Did it help? </p>
