Mostly the body propels the baby forward through the birth canal. The mother just bears down during the contractions to help her body out.

According to the medical journals, it is by muscle contractions that push out the baby.

Its hard to explain... its just something nature does when the time comes. She just has to bear down and push like shes taking the biggest poop of her life.
... but I had the help of a vacuum to pull my daughter out because I wasn't "pushing right". (By the way, that was NO fun getting that vacuum put inside..... ended up with 20 stitches all inside... ouchies)

usually the contractions take care of that, just push when you have a contraction and baby comes. Your body basically does it all for you, doc will assist

She uses a plunger. Its like having a clogged toilet. That's why when the woman's water breaks they know to get a bucket, a plunger and rush her to the hospital.

Contractions, strong contracting and relaxing of the abdominal muscles

Pressure, from putting your chin down which makes your muscles get hard and start to push automaticlly.
