I love Dads comments in the background, and the midwife brushing them off - 'Is the baby alright like that??' 'Yep'

....'Okay'

Wow!
A question...if she was more upright in her posistion would it have helped? Cause she was kinda fighting gravity with her bum in the air and her head down?????
Loved the dad! Well done mummy

Hard to say without knowing the full story. In a super fast labour, its a good way to slow things down (getting pressure off cervix), and sounds like they weren't sure where the midwife was at the start there. But yes, especially with big bubs and positional issues you wanna be moving as much as you can in labour without tiring yourself out. Stairs, walking etc.

Wowooww - what a great birth! And yes, lovely calm and controlled midwife.

Midwives have great skills and calmness. Sometimes in a shoulder dystocia the medical management ends up in panic and a broken bone which is not nice. This is why homebirth midwives are so important. They have skills, like breech birth too, being wiped out by an increasing medical model.
