[ozmidwifery] Shoulder Dystocia??

[Denise Hynd]

Dear All I want to pose some question(s).   Do you or any one consider if a baby's head is born and does not come further with the next contraction, is it mild shoulder dystocia? Or are other classical signs (eg turtling of the head) necessary before shoulder dystocia can be diagnosed mild or otherwise??   Are there degrees of shoulder dystocia? What are they and the deifintions or boundaries of them??
