Can You Be 9 cm Dilated To Start Pushing?
You should only begin active pushing at full dilation (10cm). You may have an urge to push at 9cm but you need to try not pushing to allow the cervix to fully dilate. If you push before full dilation, you can cause the cervix to become swollen and this could slow down the dilation and the delivery, as well as possibly causing trauma to the cervix. If the urge to push is really strong then try some entonox (gas and air - nitrous oxide and oxygen). This can help overcome the urge to push. Your midwife will help you with this and talk you through it.
