Shoulder Dystocia Birth Injury (Parto Natural - Distocia Hombro)

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.

aww, poor baby

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.

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.

Is the Gaskin manouvre a lie?

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

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

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.

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...
