    Hi Muming
    I have had experience with shoulder dystocia, not in the homebirth setting but in hospitals. There are a number of tricks you can use way before considering using forceps and all of these tricks are far less traumatic that forceps. Just because you had this experience it does not mean that your next baby will also have problems with shoulder dysticia.
    I am more than happy to talk more with you about this if you want to. Also, at the moment I have no bookings in June.

    Thanks Alan,
    I was wondering if you could possibly tell me what happened in those cases? How did you help the mother(s) get the baby out?
    Ing :-)
