Natalie just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. She thought that she was done now, but the physician asked her to push one more time. Why would he ask her to do this?

to relax her muscles

to deliver the afterbirth which includes the amniotic sac, placenta, and umbilical cord

to constrict the cervix

to slow the contractions

He most likely asked to push again because its possible there's another baby or to deliver the afterbirth which includes the amniotic sac, placenta, and umbilical cord.
