When I had my first child I had him within half an hour of getting to
hospital. Nobody told me to hold back on the pushing. It worked a treat!

Your point being?

I pushed as I felt like it and DD was born within 15 minutes of arriving at
the hospital. I had looked at the clock.

With #1 I pushed when the nurse told me to because I didn't know any better.
I did not feel an urge to push. 3hrs and 45min later he was finally born.
I couldn't sit down for two weeks and was miserable much longer. That might
be the point

I waited until the others were nearly crowning. That is most definitely the
way to go!

Truth be told, I'm already having a hard time sitting down (ok, or
laying down, or standing up.) OUCH. Any secret recipes you'd like to
share? Preferrably ones that don't involve 13 naked virgins dancing
around me at midnight on a moonless night ;-)
I have a cream. It's not really doing much. I don't want surgery now and
end up having to do it all over again in about 14 weeks.

Hemorrhoids? Witch hazel on cotton balls works for me, as does a regular
stool softener (I use colace & benefiber) to avoid the straining which
causes them in the 1st place. I also got a prescription cream from the
doc called Analpram HC that really helped a lot. When I'm in bad shape I
drink coffee, Dunkin' Donuts is magic!

Sorry to hear that, hope you get some relief soon.

Oh, I'm sorry. I've luckily only had minor trouble with hemorrids and that
wasn't until my last pregnancy. My misery was from swelling and stitches.

But I don't see how waiting to push is better than pushing when nature
tells us to.

With #1 I was pushing from when I was told to for about 2 hours, and was in
a lot of pain afterwards-and stitches. With #2 I pushed for more like 15
minutes, from when I was told to, and could have happily played tennis
within a couple of hours later. It's called a second birth.

Well I disagree. I think waiting for the urge to push results in a better
outcome then pushing because some nurse decided it was time.
