Re: to push or not to pushFrom: Ina May Gaskin (inamaygaskin@gmail.com)Tue Jul 28 17:20:33 2009
I've only worked with women who were able to move and support their own weight. Step 1: get the mother to turn to hands and knees. Most will then have the urge to push. If not, I'll splint my first two fingers across the posterior armpit (it's usually the easier to get) and deliver the shoulder. If that's not possible, it may be possible to grasp one of the hands and deliver whichever shoulder it's attached to. The rest should be easy. Another variation is to have the mother take a "step" forward with first one knee, then the other to free an impacted shoulder. Ina May On 28 Jul 2009, at 17:03, Christopher Jones wrote:

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.
