Hi Sue,
Your request reminded me of an incident I had as a new graduate.
A very mucousy baby hadn't fed for 6 hours and as per the hospital policy of

mentum or chin is posterior, unless of course the baby rotates so that the
mentum is anterior then depending on the sacrum of the woman, the baby can birth
vaginally. It just depends how firmly the baby is in a mentum posterior

chapter 6, pages 143-174. It had a lot to do with side effects of

Hi Sue
This practice has always astounded me too. Although I will admit to 'doing'
a couple over the years- but never ever got any returns so now I refuse to
do them if requested and have a discussion with the Paed who requests it or
the Midwife who thinks she might just give it a go to clear a muc
Hi,
I helped a woman give birth some time ago to a baby born face first. I
remember flipping though the 'textbook in my brain' until I came to chin
to pubes. By then of course baby had presented exactly that way and born
normally. 2nd degree tear as head flexed through the peri, but apart

This reminds me of a beautiful baby who presented face first at home after
lying in an oblique position antenatally. Took me by surprise but it was one of

Hi Emily, I have a client who, back home

3 years ago, delivered a 3.8kg face presentation on the bed while everyone was
running around organizing a C/S. Scared the life out of her husband who wasn’t
