shoulder dystocia delivery on Youtube

Post by katep »

Every once in a while I stay up late looking at birth videos on Youtube. Yeah... probably to torture myself. Anyway, here is one that actually has shoulder dystocia and uses the McRobert maneuver to deliver.

Sure wish my midwife would have tried something other than just tugging and twisting...

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: My son was born At Parrish Medical Center in Titusville,Fla.After becoming stuck in the birth canal A doctor(any doctor)was paged 911.Believe it or not There was NO Obgyn on staff to preform a delivery,so a midwife and one other nurse had to deliver my son.He suffered 2 torn nerves and came out lifeless...
We see Dr.Grossman In Miami along with Dr.Price.He has had a nerve transfer in 2010,A round of botox and a recasting in 2011 and now we will having another round of botox in which we pray no cast will be needed.He is a smart handsome little boy who has come so far and everyday I feel he's improving!

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

I just went to the video and it has been deleted from Youtube!
Wow I guess someone does not want a good delivery on Youtube. Why would this be taken down when it give good example of SD delivery? :shock:

The only SD delivery tape I watched was one where the baby was injured. It was such an emotional experience for me. I guess I just never realized how hard the delivery was on me, even though I know how bad my injury is. I some how was disconnected from the actual event. I cried so hard when I saw it and felt so very sad for my Mom that she had to go through this and discover that I was injured after release from the hospital. They managed to hide it from her the two weeks we were in after birth. They claimed I was scratching my face! I still can't do that.

Yes, just a midwife. It was a home water birth (yes, dystocia can happen even if you aren't resting on your tailbone). I wish I'd had a midwife who was more pro-active in getting me onto all fours or squatting or SOMETHING other than just pulling and twisting on my baby to dislodge him. I used to blame myself because it was a home birth, but from everything I've read, it had a high likelihood of being even worse if I'd been in a hospital.
