Can someone tell me what this is??
It says in my birth notes 'Manoeuvre(s) to deliver the shoulders: McRoberts manoeuvre.
I googled it and it said it's used for shoulder dystocia. I didn't think she had shoulder dystocia. The m/w did say after that the shoulders were very tight in there but that's it. After her head came out there was meconium and they were worried and people came in, in case something was wrong with DD (she didn't breathe spontaneously). So was it just to get her out quick?
I don't remember her doing that or asking me to do that specifically but I was by then in that position anyway, on the bed half on my side. So would she have just written that because I was already in that position?
