Concerns & hoping for some advice!

1) I’ll prolly be going for induction of labour. Currently at 37 weeks. Reason being - baby is too big. 2) as a first time mum, I really do not know how to push a baby out. Is this something that I should worry? And will it cause a negative impact on my baby should I not know how to push the baby out?

I read that pushing a baby uses the same muscles as pooping. So that was what I imagined and did when I was delivering my 3.6kg baby. Took me 10 mins with vacuum. For context, my baby had her umbilical cord around her neck so it was harder for her to “exit”. Hope this helps.
