in this case this "midwife" had to pretty much pull the 1st pup out...it was breached and its big head didn't want to come out and when it finally did, it had been without sufficient oxygen for some time and I couldn't find anything to suction the fluid from its nose and mouth so I used my own mouth!!! lol. Also, I always cut the cord so momma don't bite too close or pull too hard, help break the bag and clear the airway, make sure all the placenta is delivered, ect..... Marsha
