dr marchbein, i recall at a midwifery conference ina may gaskin speaking about dealing with shoulder dystocia by reaching in and rotaing the arms to come down before the shoulders (as if the baby had his/her hands above its head) of course this was doen gently and working with the shoulder joint. seems she said it would help to narrow the shoulders and open the outlet. have you ever heard of this manuver and if so, does it work and what is it called?

thank you, vicki
