What does crowning during childbirth feel like?

The sensation of crowning during childbirth can vary from woman to woman, but it is often described as a feeling of intense pressure, fullness, or stretching in the pelvic area. Some women may experience a burning or stinging sensation, while others may feel the need to push involuntarily. Additionally, crowning can be accompanied by feelings of anxiety, excitement, or relief as the head of the baby emerges from the birth canal.
