Brilliant, Andrea. Someone had posted the query on the Midwifery Today

I just got the book out to re read the section you are talking about,
pg 45 in my book ofr anyone interested, but I think it just the name
they use for the combination of a binder and two towels used as
described to try and encourage the uterus to be more upright in women
who have a serious split in their rectus shealth and therefore the
uterus is hanging forward into the gap. Often these women fail to
establish labour because the baby is not putting pressure on the
cerix. They often niggle on and off repeatedly and doing as described
is often enough so that during the next run of contractions they
establish rather than wain again.
If you want to ask Pauline Scott I have her email
