How else do you get a baby out at a CS? Since I am always first assist I have the great task of standing on the woman's fundus- who only has and epidural- and trying to get an 8-9 pound baby out of a 4 inch hole.

If anyone has a better way- please tell me.

You can always reach in and grab the footsies and pull it out as a footling breech.

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.
