The Gaskin is a 'midwifery' manoevure, and was pioneered by Ina May
Gaskin, so not talked about (at least where I work) in conjunction
with the McRoberts and Rubins etc. It is where you get the woman to go
over on all fours. We have one midwife that actually believes it is the
movement, rather than the all fours, she finds if the woman is
semi-recumbent, then all fours is good. And if the woman is already on
all fours then she gets her to flip back to semi recumbent which in
most cases is all that is needed.
Hope that helps. I think (?) a lot of midwives probably do this
manoevure, but just did not know it had a name.

Well, I have NEVER seen a #clavicle in 26 yrs of both hospital &
home midwifery, even in big babies where some force has been used.
