Doula

Answer: C - A woman can begin pushing during each contraction once transition ends and second stage begins. Transition is the final phase of stage one of labor, and is defined as the cervix opening from 7 cm to 10 cm. The contractions have gotten stronger as labor has progressed, and come very frequently as transition happens. Panic is a common reaction to the intensity of transition. Other common feelings include nausea, vomiting, irritability, the desire to give up, hot flashes, chills, shaking, low backache, and rectal pressure.
