Hi Genevieve
This is interesting. I assume it is in response to the discussion on the
ozmid chat line, so I will send it on there. I don't remember the
discussion getting into shoulder dystocia.

Try having a look at Coates, T. Manoeuvres for the relief of shoulder
dystocia, Modern Midwife, 7(5), September 1997, which is cited in an
article in Open Line, which reads: "A five year review conducted in Totonto
found that fundal pressure, when used without other manoeuvres, was
associated with a high rate of neurological and orthopaedic damage. In
addition, it has been suggested that fundal pressure is associated with
uterine rupture and premature separation of the placenta."
