I had a bad result will be the last home birth. My baby was breech deliveries stupid, and did not make it. Exact same result does not, and shall take the women planned childbirth. Now I wanted my baby born in the safest place possible.

This is without a doubt the worst “My OB said what?” quote I have seen.

I’m confused as to why the Gaskin Maneuver wouldn’t be the first line of defense. Oh wait, no I’m not.

But you know that people who say that OBs are the be all end all turn this statement around with the old “but it was so dangerous! so many women died!”

because hygiene has nothing to do with better outcomes *either* you know.

I just love how people don’t stop to think how relatively short a time ‘OB’ doctors have really been on the scene in comparison to how many thousands & thousands & thousands & thousands of years women have been reproducing. So if it can’t be done safely without them then how did we get this far?

Well of course he told her that, if she gives birth at home, how are the hospitals and drug companies going to get paid? I’m being sarcastic, of course!

You hit it right on! I loved that book and I’m glad to see another person has read it. That is exactly why someone would make a comment like that from an authoritarian position. It’s a last-ditch attempt to manipulate and control the woman.

I have bumped into laypeople who also make similar derogatory remarks but I think their comments stem from ignorance and intolerance rather then a desire to control.

I think you mean the McRoberts Maneuver is where the woman shoves her knees up to her ears. The Gaskin Maneuver is a quick flip onto all fours, thats what my midwife did and it worked to unstick my 10lbs 7ozs sons shoulder. He had absolutely no issues with his shoulder past a couple weeks old. He is now 2 and completely fine.

Tricia Anderson set up MIDIRS too. I would advise you all to have a look. Anybody having a baby or involved in maternity care should. Definitely try the Informed Choice books.
