RE: [ozmidwifery] broken collar bone & subsequent birth

[Mary Murphy]

What is going on here do you think?  Could position have anything to do with it? Eg. “bed dystocia”?   Sue wrote:  I have seen several,  not always from shoulder dystocia, sometimes from that though, sometimes just a 'difficult' birth, one not so long ago was from a straight forward birth with no apparent reason. I agree that it is not a hugely serious situation and that the bubs do not suffer long-term damage, although obviously not the best!
