These were letting the
woman do what she feels and a stop-pushing
technique. In the 60 EPU cases analysed, the
latter was the most-used approach by midwives,
with a percentage of 87% (n=52/60). A small
number of midwives suggested to the woman to
go along with the pushes (13%, n=8/60), mainly in
the case of an EPU diagnosed at a higher cervical
dilatation (8–9 cm).
