Wow, thanks for that! Both my babies have done exactly this, and the more waterbirths I see, the more this stopping and resting at the hips becomes evident to me. My colleague and I have never felt the need to pull the baby out, they come soon after that big stretch, and then mum can pick the baby up out of the water.
Thanks for the link to the conference too Lieve, won't be able to make it unfortunately, between the ICM this year, and a family trip next year...next time!

Anyone else see this much? Hi Tania This opening of the arms and baby flinging back the head is a subject that has received study by Cornelia Enning, the waterbirth mw from Germany. She's a regular speaker at Waterbirth International conferences and her view is that one should wait for that 'sign' to gently lift the baby out of the water. I think she might have a website if you do a google search of her name. Gloria -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
