I think it has to be stand of the moon :-)) I also had this week a similar situation, I helped the shoulders a little bit because there was a loose cord around the neck that I switched over the head, but the cord was pranged between the baby and the pelvis. There was no heartbeat to feel in the cord and I decided to help the baby out. It was not a matter of a large baby or some shoulderdystocia, just no more contraction. I think that when the cord is still in and not around the neck, you could safely wait. But to say, my head around is all white hairs :-)))
Lieve Lieve Huybrechts vroedvrouw 0477/740853 -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Sally Westbury Verzonden: zondag 17 juli 2005 10:06 Aan: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Onderwerp: RE: [ozmidwifery] just a thought Just this week I had a primip who only had 5-7 minutely contractions for the last hours before her baby was born. After the baby was born we waited 7 minutes for the next contraction with which the baby was born. It was a long long long long 7 minutes. I was tempted to do something!! Then she pushed the baby was born. The baby breathed beautiful. I breathed again! It reminded me so much of the birth of my second child. I remember the midwife calmly telling me.. one more push and your baby will be born and me thinking... that feels so much better.. I'm not in a hurry. I'm sure that I gave my poor midwife a few grey hair that day 13 years ago!! Love Sally Westbury -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
