Re: [ozmidwifery] helpful tip

The position sounds a lot like exaggerated Sims, with some 
pressure/manipulation used to exaggerate it even more.  I have used this 
and had a 10 and half pound persistant direct posterior born almost 
immediately after using it..... with the same look of surprise (on 
everyone's faces!) described in the tip.

life of me, I can't get a picture in my head of what
this manipulation might look like!  Have any of you
tried this or somethingsimilar before?
