I wonder does this mean that the UK SIDS UNICEF brochure on cosleeping safely will be withdrawn? I never quite understood why we are supposed to be back sleeping advocates whilst the same organisation overseas advocates the opposite. Sonja - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Rachel, you raise an interesting point. One of our obs was talking to a woman in clinic last week, she is 4'9 and baby is posterior and not engaged at 39 weeks (primip) so he was advising her to go straight for C/S - now I do not necessarily agree that she could not deliver - given some time

I wonder if he told her that it would be better for her baby if she experienced some labour - even if she then had a c-section. Although I doubt that option would fit with his schedule. I also think that it is a shame that women are missing out on the option of an assisted vaginal birth due

I have experienced 4 assisted vaginal birth myself. The second was dreadful, and injured the baby, dislocated his neck. Number four was posterior, 2 hrs of no descent in 2nd stage. I could feel she was stuck and tried everything. In the end I demanded an epidural and forceps. Once the doctor

It's unlikely that an obs would get sued if the woman had made an informed decision about her birth option. Some women would opt for a 'difficult' forceps birth rather than a c-section. Others would rather have a c-section than an 'easy' ventouse. Obs may find themselves getting sued when a

Sorry, I too have seen some dreadful injuries, but not with Kielland, and my own experience with the Kielland was okay, no episi and only a very small tear. Which I thought was pretty good considering the huge epises I'd had with the others. It was the Neville Barnes forceps that did the damage,
