In my first birth I had a few inexperienced staff attend at the end and when it came to 3rd stage the young midwife - who was already in a state of panic as the anaethetisit had told her off in front of me for calling him out for an epidural when my baby's head was on the way out! - that she very enthusiastically pulled on the cord and I managed to be assertive enough to tell her to 'don't bloody pull so hard - leave me alone!' - as I really felt strains in strange places inside me and luckily she backed off and it delivered a few minutes laterwhen I had another contraction.I suppose it is easy to blame extraneous factors - ie. condition of the womans body - when hospital protocol is being followed vis a vis the 'controlled cord traction' Steph. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Murphy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 9:28 PM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] inverted uterus
