Notes
Buttocks First
- If baby has delivered to level of umbilicus, gently extract baby's legs.
- Gently extract enough cord to relieve tension on cord during delivery.
Both Feet First
- Support baby's legs and buttocks, and gently pull during contractions until shoulders are delivered.
- Avoid pulling on baby once shoulders have delivered.
- Place gloved fingers between baby's face and vaginal wall to create an airway for baby until head delivers.
- Prepare for emergency c-section.
