Im curious so does that mean for 4 whole days straight nothing but pushing out? Do you take any breaks? Serious question.

There are different stages of labor, and most of the time is spent by the body preparing for pushing. My wife was in labor for 24 hours but once the pushing began they only gave her 4 hours of pushing before they told us she'd need a C-section. Pushing can be very hard on the baby so they monitor its heart rate and generally won't allow pushing for too long. They let her push more than they originally planned because our son was a troll and always looked like he was about to come out but never did.
