    Thanks!

    Thanks so much for sharing these views and information. I do think my first daughter was a fairly mild case of dystocia. My partner said she came out pretty quickly once her head emerged (I wasn't aware of any issue until later).
    Also makes me think 2nd birth onwards, your body should be better at it and more 'stretched'. Plus being in a better position would change the angles etc
    I would rather have a natural birth but serious shoulder dystocia poses a major risk to baby's health so it's not clear cut.
    Will take on board that growth scans are unreliable!
    Thanks again - will post an update..
