0:14 Did anyone notice The head Stretching?

[kaindrg]

@wargarkaz its squeezing

[steeff21]

yea ii saw it too i guess it's not normal

[AkaTinaSmith96]

@wargarkaz You have plates in your head that are not closed until you began the birth process to leave room so your head can squeeze so thats what happend right then !

[ammelinecool]

is this why girls need big hips?? =O

[margaret46550]

@ammelinecool *claps*

[kaindrg]

@ammelinecool smaller girls have a higher chance of need Csection

[Onekatmandu]

That makes me so sad for the baby! :( My cousin was born with a broken collar bone - what an awful way to enter the world!

[kaindrg]

@Onekatmandu the whole birthing process is extremely traumatic for the child in the first place imagine u have know only darkness and your mother voice your how short 9 months of existance then suddenly light sound coloer ppl chaos. on your topic of autism. Though many cases of autism have occured in history doctores have not yet found a diffinative answer to what causes autism unfortunatly/.

[cuteglitternails]

my niece was 10lb 8oz, they pulled her with the forces, dislocated her arm and ripped her ear loop in the process :( :(

and nope people, the baby was healthy, mom couldnt not eat anything during pregnacy, mostly fruits and veggies, anything besides that she would only try eating because she knew she had too. Second pregnancy, they know is possible to be another big baby :( :( :(

[Onekatmandu]

@cuteglitternails Omg that's awful!!! :'( Poor baby and poor mom! They should've done a C-section for sure!

[peisze621]

this is a good video. It shows how the brachial plexus is being injured and lead to Erb's palsy.. A very important fetal complication of shoulder dystocia..

thank you.

[mylovesofmylife]

With my tiny frame I had a very healthy 3rd newborn of 7 pound 13 oz, 52cm, 9/9 apgars born via 1 hour and 20 min rapid NVD, two skilled midwives pulled her out at the end of the pushing stage.

[anastabi]

ITS VERY GOOD!!!

[sunflower1531]

My son wa 9lbs when he was born, He was born with a broken arm because he got stuck on his way out. he is now 9 months old and he is as healthy as a horse!

[Onekatmandu]

@sunflower1531 Ouch!! Glad he's okay now!

[mizmadnez91]

This usually happens to women who develope diabetes during their pregnancy.

The babbies tend to be a bit bigger.. (sometimes the babbies are to big to be born the natural way)

[makkapakka5]

I have had this happen to both my daughters The 1st had physio till she was 2n a half The 2nd was not so bad but is still being monitored by a physio (she is now 18 months old) They were both big babies - almost 10lb n almost 9lb My boys were much smaller Im now expecting my 7th child n the Dr is worried even tho they say the baby isnt big it could happen again n wants me induced early I really dont want 2 and there is no guarantee it still wont happen again anyway Im really worried!

[Onekatmandu]

@makkapakka5 7 kids?! Wow! Supermom! What about doing a c-section rather than early induction? I've never had one myself but that seems better for baby.

[wontie0]

@Onekatmandu early induction sounds much better then a c-section. It's better for the baby that the mother is their for him. a good mother/child bond, is best established as fast as possible. I think you can imagine yourself that it's more difficult to do that with a c-section. You can't explain to a newborn that it will have to wait for it's mother cause she's still on the operating table.

[oJUDAYALo]

what does the child go through as it gets older if this happens to it during birth?

[narutodamp]

i have this sickness :( and its not a joke

[barbiegirl1958]

This can occur with large babies at delivery. It is an EMERGENCY when this happens. McRoberts Manuever is the first line to deliver a baby that is "stuck"--usually it works. When it doesn't, there are other manuevers to use, but time is of the essence for the infant's safety. Again, if the baby gets "stuck," this usually works--thankfully.

[dearestkela]

Poor bebe. :(

[marywooyeah]

This happened to me when my son was born, the midwife just said "oh his shoulder is stuck" then without warning reached into my "pelvic outlet" and pulled his shoulder free, one more push and he came right out. no harm done to either of us thank God

[barbiegirl1958]

You were blessed to have a well trained midwife and that she was able to get her hand in and dislodge the shoulder. Well done!

[joleena123]

@marywooyeah Thank HEAVENS for Midwives!!! I loved my Midwives! They are Heros!

[noraui]

Interesting.

[Jeweldee]

My last baby of six had head dystocia and then shoulder dystocia - you'd think the sixth one would just pop out, wouldn't you?

No way! It was an incredibly painful birthing experience for me and probably also for my baby!

[A24004]

so literally and figuratively speaking, giving birth is like your one foot under the grave and the other one is fighting for the mother & the baby's lives.

[gklue]

aww, poor baby

[unoshortie]

This does happen with large births. My second child was 10lbs. 14oz. and yes, this was our fate. We did full range of motion for about two weeks. Happily within a weeks time she started to use her arm.

[gamergirf4]

@unoshortie

ouch

im only 13 but it sound painful lol jkjk congrats! what happens to the arm i dont get it

[jemmas007]

go learn about it n school then come back !

[frankensteinmoneymac]

@gamergirf4 It can cause neuropraxia, and may result in symptoms including a limp or paralyzed arm; lack of muscle control in the arm, hand, or wrist; and lack of feeling or sensation in the arm or hand......I might sound smart, but I just copy/pasted this from the ' Info' section of this clip...LOL!!! Not trying to sound rude, but ya might want to try to look there first before asking a question.

[ltellev]

I had this happen with my first. The nurse and the doctor got him out in about 50 seconds with out any harm done. I am going for a c-section with my second.

[ladyleah6]

Is the Gaskin manouvre a lie?

[powerpufflady13]

o that sux but hey i would b in mor pain than the baby would b in, right? right? anyone w/ meh? hahaa nah im kidding

[ivygatapr]

when i was on my second delivery my baby wasnt able to go thru the birth canal and got stucked on the shoulders so my dr asked me if i wanted to dislocate her shoulder to make her go out n make an emergency cirgury to relocate it (but when i asked about the consecuences he wasnt too confident she was gonna b totally normal after) or if i wanted a c section instead... of course i didnt think it twice n he sent me straight to the d.r. to perform the c section and thanks God my baby is ok...

[tandorla]

how common is this?

[Norb1t9]

the vagina has nothing to do with it. its the pelvis.

[tiffanyhardy3]

@Norb1t9

My doctor/nurse put me on a birthing ball to speed up dilation of cervix- told me to rock back and forth-on ball for roughly 20-30 minutes to my recollection-contractions were very strong - I dilated to 8 cm on the ball and felt like pushing - took me off the ball and began pushing- holly was born 45 min later-she now has autistic like behaviors and unable to feed herself, speak or potty train at 5yrs. She also has microcephaly-very small head circum. Any thoughts???

[Onekatmandu]

@tiffanyhardy3 I had a very difficult birth with my daughter and she is 5 yrs old and recently diagnosed with Autism. You think there's a connection? If you wanna talk about it, feel free to message me (I'll try to remember to check for messages!). :)

[mysticmeg111]

anna the problem is not a little vagina whose muscles can stretch-the problem is a large baby whose shoulders become wedged in the lower pelvic bony outlet after the head is born.There are several techniques/manouvres which can be used to free the shldrs without resorting to a c/s.

[KirbyPwnz13]

sometimes the doctor can just pop the shoulder back in place since babies are very flexible.

[majesticglaze]

It's a nerve that's being stretched as shown in the video. The bone is getting trapped causing the Brachial Plexus nerves to stretched which might cause of a limp arm, paralyzed arm, weak muscle control and many more. It's not that common maybe 1 in a 100,000 babies.

[sarahwolfgirl]

omg that happened to me O.o... but it dislocated my arm...not a nice thing to happen because i can't move my arm as well as i should be able to.. but 17 years of physio got it almost normal again...

[f3nt0]

the doctor broke my right shoulder during birth becuz i was too big and i was stuck

[jgogo22]

my god... awesome...

[KholeyLotus]

Is it because the baby is too big?.....or because the woman is too tiny? Does it do permanant damage? Or just temp discomfort. I love the animations of this channel..creepy but informative!

[0Krusnik0]

It can be that the baby is too big, but the baby can just be in the wrong position. It's very easy to move the baby's shoulder if this is happening. It can cause permanent damage.

[mrsvoltaire]

The doctor broke my niece's shoulder during delivery. My sil did not know until she got the bill for the repair of her shoulder.

[melinahollywood]

das video ist langweilig

[melcrazylover]

my mom said my shoulders where the hardest parts to get out , but now my shoulders are beutiful! and not even broad

[naruto9375]

omg his/her shoulder ouch!

[martinstegeman]

our son(almost 2) is having a erbse parese,this is how they call it in the netherlands,and its braeking my haert every day.

he wil never have a normal left arm,and is not able to choose any job he wants....

i wish the doctor would have gave me a c-section.....

[alwaysbeautiful123]

omg!!! could this really happened to baby during delivery??? First time i hear about this :( pretty scary specially if the doctor pulls out the baby

[murtadha12345678910]

i live in holland and a woman here that was going to do her first birth thingy (i dunno what its called in english a docter doing a birth thingy) anyway she was doing it but there were some difficulties so she was supposed to call the hospital. but she dident she wanted to proof herself or sumtin so when the baby was

about to die from a lack of oxygen she just pulled him out and she broke his left arm and paralyzed his right arm. i think they should shoot that woman

[martinstegeman]

jeetje dus de verloskundige was onervaren !!

nou mijn gyn heeft bij ons (vind ik)ook een fout gemaakt,hij had me na 30 uur een keizersnee moeten geven,dan was onze zoon gezond geboren.

het brengt zoveel met zich mee zo´n ep arm.

we hebben nooit gedacht om hem aan te klagen gewoon omdat we denken dat je het nooit kan winnen,als het ziekenhuis achter hem staat zeker niet.

[majesticglaze]

In English it's called a giving birth or labor.

[WAY17E]

i know this is an old comment, but actually i think hes on about the mid-wife role, in which case it would be "Delivering the baby" -mother is in labour/giving birth, the mid-wife delivers...

[xL1LxCHROMATICROBOT]

this happened to me and i now have bpi

[StackerZ11]

Wait.....but wouldn't the cartilage prevent that from happening?

[MarcusDarling4026]

That's what happened to my daughter, when she was born. They had to use the vacuum & she came out, with a lame arm & two black eyes!

She's fine, now, but, it freaked me out, at first!

[ExplorerJeep]

"Years of medical school screwing me up". If thats the case then I would not wish you as my doctor. My doctor PREPARED for any possibility and that is why my baby is safe and healthy and normal. He knew that I had a large baby and was ready for it. As for scaring the parents, I believe that if you are going to have a baby then you should know about some of the possibilities, then you can make better informed desicions. Just my thoughts.

[klahrissa]

Actually it wouldn't be rediculous. If we really were not concerned abouit every little thing going wrong, then we wouldn't have a doctor deliver the baby. If your my doctor I expect you to make sure these kinds of things don't happen. If you don't whats the point. I could just sit at home and deliver in a bath tub. I pray to god you don't become a gynocologist and if you are one I hope I never see your face.

[paolagzzgzz]

my brother got this... and they never told my mother !!! that happened in Mexico. she find out later because my brother always cry when my mom change his clothes.. and also the baby only move one arm... oh well.. now he is perfect fine and he is 29 years old.. and with one baby... :)

[aguirrear]

It is not necessarily size of baby but also positioning that causes this to happen...and no, not always to diabetic moms.

[media1981]

normally expert doctors will put their hands in the vagina and prevent that kinda things to happen

[jrstenvert]

What happens with you when this happens?

[5ftgoddess]

nothing happens to you but baby can have a broken shoulder and/or nerve damage. this is usually caused by mis managed diabetis resulting in a large baby .

[wiccamoon03]

poor thing

[reggeaton3]

i felt a hurting sensation when i saw this.

[Buron163]

That happened to my friend

[jenene84]

i use to say at my aunts in home daycare. there was a kid with her arm stuck in the way of an "L". her arm was broken in brith. why did it say in the "L" shape? her arm was re-broken so she move it when she was three. guess this is was happen. learn something everyday.

[novillobravo]

dios la ciencia y la perfeccion de nuestro cuerpo humano

[novillobravo]

dios la ciencia y la perfeccion de nuestro cuerpo humano

[gypsyophelia]

this happened to me. i have permanent shoulder nerve injuries from it.

[waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh]

im scared to have babies but im still young

[ExplorerJeep]

WHY does everyone assume this is only in diaetic mothers????? My daughter was born with this and I wasn't diabetic, or overweight. I have a family history of average size babies AND I only gained 13 pounds with the pregnancy. My daughter was 2 weeks early. Nobody saw this coming. If you think it can't happen to anyone, you're crazy.....

[Addue]

People associate shoulder dystocia with diabetes due to the fact that diabetic moms tend to deliver larger babies. But , you're right, this can happen to anyone. And it isn't always easy to predict until the head is already out. Then the options are to try to finish deliverying with a manuever meant to deliver through the dystocia or hot foot it to surgery for an emergency C-section.

[wiibot15]

@waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh HAHAHAHAHA GLAD IM A MAN!

[daanmarechal]

i'm born like this.

[missfantastic03]

omg this is serious

[nittis35]

this makes me sad D'= i have it

[kittosuni]

depends actually. some can recover completely but most dont. i have also like this and i cannot fully extentd my right arm. it is also weaker comapred to the other one. and im noticing it, it is smaller now compared yo my normal left hand brcause of atrophy i guess

[cappdodd]

Very informative video, thank you for this

[chewyrox5]

Oh, This is why my Aunt had a C Section. The doctor was amazing and predicted it was going to happen about 1/2 a week before the water broke.

[Zperox]

My son was born whit this :(

[arnarXx]

is it like a permanent thing or is it just a injury?

[Zperox]

it can happen again but you can also have a good birth after a birth like this.

[didoupiaf]

Thank you very much for this video

[12valvepower1]

this is why supermodels cant have kids. women needs hips

[Nowie91]

Lol some supermodels have pretty wide hips... for example tyra banks.

[7RandomGirl27]

is that having your shoulder dilocated

[HelloImQuin]

im scared to give birth because;

what if the shoulders can't get threw

:/

[waterhands20]

the body is an amazing machine; trust me it can't get stuck

[rhia321]

thats a stupid comment, its a well know fact that this can happen, only happens in 1% off cases but it can happen.

[waterhands20]

No it can't. The shoulders are dislocated when they go through the birth canal. I believe you're speaking of cases in which the canal is too small or the pelvic bone is in a position in which the baby can't get through; in which case that "1%" would get a "C" section. Doctors make such measurements to prevent this from happening. Please don't call others stupid, it shows lack of character and good argument.  Thank You

[elpebblito]

i weighed almost 12 pounds when i was being delivered

[CHloE748]

aww that would be terable!!

[Gb4yb4y]

that happened to me too, im 24 years old now, and my left arm is a bit diferent from my right arm, is about 3 inches shorter, and i cant lift it up, and cant do some other stuff.. it really sucks, but i've learn to live with it. I know if u go to therapys(sp?) since u'r born it gets a lot better, cuz when i was born my mom says that it was like death, but now at least i can use it.

[elpebblito]

i know how you feel im 14 and i have erb's palsy but on my right arm

i'm currently going through physical therapy for the 4th time

[zavijaba]

Thanks!!!!

Gracias!!!

[lagel3inek]

my question is .. is it a 100% natural or its kind of a doctors fault i mean they never told me who was it am sure i would kick his/her ass anyway

and yet with all the medicine has reached nothing fully recovering for this damn thing

[rdsa6]

its not docs fault anyway dont shout!!IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN the babay is big or some variation in the boen thru which it has to pass

[lagel3inek]

yea i know that and i know that the doc should give the mother the c-sec choice whenever he/she predict this thing to happen and dont tell me its not predictable .yes it is.

[SageFemme1976]

There are no known risk factors for 50% of all shoulder dystocias. Should we section everyone?

[AnatomaniaK]

why don't women give birth in a doggy position? seriously? i hear it is better.

[rdsa6]

where hve u heared it >?? if they do that there belly will burst open from the bbys weight and pressure

[busybusymomma]

Moving to the hands and knees (aka Gaskin maneuver) is a method commonly used by midwifes for resolving shoulder dystocia. It's the movement of changing positions that shifts the bones of the pelvis around and sometimes frees the baby without other intervention becoming necessary.

[0meera]

not for shoulder dystocia, it definitely isnt. in the doggy position it will be more difficult to maneuver the baby e.g. if one needs to baby anteriorly [to the side facing the floor in a doggy position] the force will cause the mother to drop and thus it will not be effective

[SageFemme1976]

Yes, it is. The standard treatment is McRoberts, suprapubic pressure, Woods screw, delivery of the posterior shoulder and Zavanelli. If mom can do Gaskin (i.e., her block isn't too dense or she's unmedicated), it can be tried before or after McRoberts, depending on position of mom for delivery.

Gaskin is a standard alternative for midwives and OBs alike.

[cdyeager]

I think this 3D medical animation accurately presents the rare birth injury of Shoulder Dystocia. After reviewing other medical illustrations and images online, this animation most clearly shows Shoulder Dystocia.

[vladepejajohn]

it's a myth that bracial plaxus can recover 100%...i've dealt with it my whole life..

done all kinds of surgeries..everything

it's 75% healed..never will be 100%

[lagel3inek]

i agree i have it and same as u 75% all i can get

[jessidabomm]

how does that happen? i mean, do some women not have the bone structure to have babies? or was it the doctors fault?

[AnatomaniaK]

it must hurt like a bitch. good thing the baby does not yet feel pain

[TheSausageheads]

Pretty sure the baby can feel pain from 12 weeks gestation, that's what my pregnancy updates have been telling me anyway.

[danielsil15]

you mean they don't remember the pain when they grow up

[AnatomaniaK]

does it matter?

[mshambaugh]

Wow. Really cool pregnancy animation...

[DeanClark68]

I love pro-lifers they care about the mother and the baby. Pro-lifers really respect life.

[AnatomaniaK]

is it always the right side of the nervous system that is affected by dystocia or is it just one side? interesting. btw, you need to do the macroberts maneuver to deliver the baby safely. things get better when you put the mom in a doggy position

[inekestolp]

It's just the one side that gets affected by dystocia, the side that gets stuck under the symfyse. But beware, you can do damage still if you pull too hard on the baby's head. Mc. Roberts is unfortunately not always the solution to a shoulder dystocia. But it is true that often a position on all fours makes things better.

[AnatomaniaK]

thanks.

[ElenaRocker]

holy shit that happened to my brother...! haha

[AnatomaniaK]

is he okay? handicap?

[kevagonia]

love these

[izdagrimeyone]

doctors (good ones)move the baby in the correct postion before they take it out and if not C section. if you have this done to u and dont sue you are an ididot

[satine1423]

oh yeah it really the kid fault right? mabey the DOCTOR could have something to do with it?!

[krazypaki678]

ya...that happened to me and now i'm 16...it still hasnt fully recoevered but i try alot to make it better

[marktibiaa]

OOW HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[jerryaltman]

The problem happen when the pelvis is too small and the baby too large.

[odog198]

Wow! Im scared now!

[SABRINAJS]

lol, oh yea

[KikisChica]

That almost happened to my son! He's 4 months now but when i was in labou he was a quick baby and big and i pushed really hard and his shoulder was stuck a bit so the midwife and doctor helped him out safely, he is fine now. x

[oreo4president]

thank goodnes

[KikisChica]

Thanks to those who gave me the thumbs up :)

Forgot to say, my son was 8lb 13 ozs at birth! and i'm only 4ft 11 inches tall and a size 12!.. I'm glad he was'nt my first, my Cervix was a little more lax than first time round so it was'nt as difficult or long to deliver him, despite the Distocia.

[LavenderFairy]

It's appropriate that they show shoulder distocia with the mother lying on her back - usually that is what causes it since that position narrows the pelvic outlet.

[tubeview888]

best solution is 2 change position (not something most hospital's will let you do...do it anyway) doggy or squatting will open the pelvis more letting shoulder slide out in most cases...if not there is another manuver where the husband/coach gets behind& pulls the pelvis wider (pelivs can do this b/c its actually 2 parts like a hinge) baby pops out! typically a body wont grow a baby 2 big to come out...just needs a little help but most arent intune w/ instincts cause DR is blocking reception.

[ssfan1]

ouch!

[saragubits]

this happens because women are put on their backs!!

[XPoisonxXxRose2007X]

this happened to my mate, they could get her to stop crying for 2 months after she was born.

[chantistar]

that sux, but they recover!

[becosmom]

Sorry, they don't always recover, my son suffered shoulder dystocia, and to this day, has an arm that gives him trouble...even after 2 surgeries and EXTENSIVE OT and PT. Check out Brachial Plexus Inuries and see for yourself

[chantistar]

sorry to hear about that

[helenrose70]

Biggest myth is that they all recover. Many don't and have a lifetime of disability.
