Narrative:
We were departing ZZZ from gate xx. The 10-7 page specifies that we do not have to call for a push clearance. The push crew pushed us onto taxiway C; an active taxiway. The captain noticed we were on the active taxiway without a clearance from ground. Ground did not say anything to us and we continued the flight without any further incident.the 10-7 page does not show we use gate xx or that any potential exist for a pushback into the active. In this case; there was no disruption to normal traffic flow. The 10-7 page might need to be altered if the normal procedure is to push aircraft onto taxiway C. In the future; any push from a gate not shown as our normal gate on the 10-7 page needs to be monitored more closely to ensure we have proper clearance.
