That would have been a heck of alot messier with an epi or other drugs on board. Good on her! I've seen a few big babes born without stitches - off mum's back of course! :)
What a clever mummy and nice calm midwife!!
:o Faaaar out...
:o
Holy ****!!!!!!
Holy Toledo!! :clap:
I love Dads comments in the background, and the midwife brushing them off - 'Is the baby alright like that??' 'Yep'
....'Okay'
:rofl:
wow!!!!!!
WOWZERS!!!! :o:o:o
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.
oh my golly gosh! :o
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.
Scuse me for not being too in awe but I did it myself, drug free, with a 10lb 8oz bubby boy and a very skilled ob...not a stitch in sight!! :nahnah:
Is that bragging?? Cause I don't care!! LOL
Must say though, I did not handle it with anywhere near as much decorum...I was screaming like a banshee :redface: I am NOT a fan of McRoberts, whoever s/he is!! LOL
Amber - When we realised things had slowed during my birth, my ob got me back up on my feet and in the shower (I'd spent my whole labour in the bath, mostly on hands and knees) in the hopes gravity would help bub drop down further and it worked. But in order to do the McRoberts to allow the shoulders to pass through, I had to be on my back.
