Shoulder dystocia
I have just recently given birth to my third child and while giving birth to him his shoulders got stuck and they had to use the McRoberts manoeuvre, Internal rotation manoeuvre. For people who don't know what that is it is when they put there hands inside while the head is already out and move the baby around to move him out.
I would just like to hear other peoples stories who have gone through the same thing and also if you have had more children after that has happened and have they also been stuck or not?

My brother got stuck, both him and my mum were very lucky to survive, they were even trying to break his collar bones to get him out. Anyway he is mums second child I'm the forth all the rest of us were fine and apparently (from memory) my other brother (third) was basically just caught and a nice easy birth.
