Thanks so much for all of the replies. I am feeling better about this situation. I am also hoping that I never have the opportunity to shake hands with any babies before the head is out!

Yup, had a memorable one a few years ago.  In fact, her perineum was intact. 

 

Had to cut the perineum to repair the rectal wall. 

 

Memorable. 

 

I think it was the fast descent into the vagina and probably some rotation that tore her.  In your case, it might have been the elbow.

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.
