Re: pulling baby out by your hands????

Daniel Braun: "Re: pulling baby out by your hands????" Zachariah, Thank you for that encouraging post. But you didn't give me your opinion. ;) I thank Joe P for his response, it too encourages me that this sort of treatment is indeed very rare (if at all). And for Charlie: I will reply with an email to first speak with the doctor doing this "perineal massage" and manual traction of the baby to find out what she was thinking or feeling or seeing that made her react hastily. Being the doctor's first go at it, I'm sure if handled properly can be a learning experience for this doctor and my colleague... -- Missie Doula/CBE Women can give birth by the action of their own bodies, as animals do. Women can enjoy the process of birth and add to their dignity by being educated to follow the example set by instinctive animals. Women can take joy and pleasure for the privilege of being women and bless God for being able to give birth, instead of showing snarling hostility toward the men who love them." page 20 Husband Coached Childbirth, by Robert A Bradley, MD, copyright 1965, 1971, 1996 We have created our own mythology of birth. The drama of this myth is in the medical emergency, the speeding ambulance, the urgent bleep, the staccato calls for assistance, the struggles of a team of doctors and nurses to combat death…It is a drama that feeds the fears inherent in the medical model of birth and, in this way, further conditions pregnant women to submit to its ritual.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
