Has this happened to anyone else?

I never had this with my first so I’m curious if this is normal. Baby moves every night but it’s soo low, I feel it in my lower abdomen but basically right where the front of my lady part is. Doesn’t even feel like my stomach it’s so low

How long did you push?!

If you’ve had your baby, how long sis you push for? Every time I see that someone pushes for hours I get so freaking confused tbh. I pushed for 10 minutes both of my vaginal births. I just feel like if it’s hours, maybe they’re pushing too early??
