What happened? Tommy had been in a vertex presentation (i.e., head pointing toward the cervix) for a good 3 months. Then after Catherine was delivered, they ruptured his amniotic sac, and he decided he'd flip. And the doctor was trying to flip him back. She finally gave up and hauled him out feet-first. Mind you, during the manipulation, I had no anesthesia whatsoever. They gave me a spinal just before she hauled him out. (At least I didn't have to feel the episiotomy being *sewn up*) Julia ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

Look at your hand as it's being mauled. ;) And a coda to the "don't look down" advice - this is REALLY important in a Caesarian birth... I had no trouble with the natural birth of my daughter, it was all so wondrous I didn't even notice the rest of it, but when Alistair was "extracted" it all happenned so quickly, calmly and quietly I wasn't even vaguely expecting it, and the movement attracted my eyes around the little "screen" thingy. Mostly I saw a gloved hand raised with a pair of tiny ankles gripped between finger and thumb, but there was also peripheral view of the rest of the table.

I think Catherine had a closer resemblance to Winston Churchill. Tommy was too broad at some crucial part of the face. :) Julia ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
