Based on what do you think doing a little twist would damage the
myometrium? And even if it does, the myometrium is so resilient, it
will bounce back, it will heal. In fact a patient will have to twist
her pelvis anyway in order to get on her all 4's. I am proposing doing
the twist and then get back into the McRoberts position and push the
baby out. And if you think that's stressful to the fetus - I wonder
what to fetus have to say to the intravaginal orthopedic surgery. (But
seriously, I am glad you were able to get your baby out by cutting its
clavicle.)
If you really think about it - rotating the mother hips may actually not
be so physiologically dissimilar to the Wood Screw or Rubin's Maneuvers.
