Puja! Puja!

So, when is it okay to push? I was told many times October 6th to not push my little bebe from the womb to the world, not until my midwife arrived. Two days ago I raked the lawn and wondered if I had pushed too hard. I talked with my Doctor's nurse, and she advised to be careful how much repetitive work I do with my left arm. I like to push. My sister-in-law said that was the best part of labor, when she got to push. (yeah, girl! Hello, Roman!) I am very with her. I like to push myself when I'm running. I infrequently like to push myself when I see a pile of dirty dishes. :0) I like to push when there's unsettled discord. When do you like to push?
