Twoply 0 #1 January 6, 2007 At the risk of getting made fun of, I'll tell you guys. We were giggling most of the time so you know... Michelle's pushing the baby out and it gets stuck at about the eyebrows. If you dont know, after the most of the head is out, it's just one of the shoulders that needs to come out, then the whole baby just slides right out. So the head is hanging half out and stuck. The nurses and doctors are kinda visibly stunned. The head was stuck there for a few minutes all the while Michelle is pushing. Finally the head gets all the way out and now it's the shoulder. Michelle pushes and pushes and gets one shoulder out after about 5 minutes. They get the other shoulder out and the arms slip out. Now it's a baby from about the armpits up hanging out of Michelle. The doctor says "Wow! Big baby!" Michelle rests for a minute then starts pushing again. The baby ain't moving and it's just hanging there. The nurses and doctor are all coaching Michelle now to push hard. The doctor is working the baby side to side to wiggle her free and she comes out a little further down to about her hips. Baby stuck again. The doctor's hands are sliding off the baby so she turns around and grabs a towel and puts it accross the baby to get a good grip. She grabs the baby and along with Michelle's pushing, they get baby out. A small pause fell over the room and the head nurse said "In 26 years, I've never seen anything like that."

kbordson 8 #10 January 6, 2007 Well... what did you expect with pushing almost TEN pounds of baby out an opening like that... I'm surprised that you are describing the labor room staff as calm as all that during what sounds like a rather significant shoulder dystocia.... I'm sure if you had taken the docs pulse during all that... it would have been impressive. Next time - don't grow them so big p.s. I was out being rather naughty last night...
