A Breech Birth & Shoulder Dystocia – $45.00
Produced and edited by Video Farm
In two 10-minute segments, this video shows the natural delivery of an 8 lb. 6 oz. baby, a frank breech presentation. This is the third child of a 34-year old mother, who needs no anesthesia or episiotomy. The second birth is unexpectedly complicated by shoulder dystocia. The 10 lb. 8 oz. baby is arrested at the shoulders. Correct management using the Gaskin Maneuver results in a quick delivery with no anesthesia, episiotomy or tear.
“What is striking about the births shown in this video, despite their classification as medically riskier, is the sureness shown by birth attendants and mother alike that birth truly works. It is so very unusual to see such calm and generally uninterfered-with mothers alike that birth truly works.” — Jane Szczepaniak, Childbirth educator
