Reply #134: Actually, I didn't want to go into all the nitty gritty things a midwife does

[Ilsa]

in case of a "stuck" baby, but here it is: The midwives I know turn the mother into a knees & hands on floor position. (The only time I have heard of a midwife putting the mother into a position that the midwife wants.) The baby will quickly get "unstuck". Midwives don't end up with babies with shoulder dystocia, etc. And one of my friends delivers 10 pound babies every three years, at home, with a midwife and her husband.

But of course, it is always the mother's choice where she wants to deliver.
