Dr. Sussman: Semisitting delivery is NOT a bright idea
NOT a bright idea...
John R. Sussman, MD and Ann Douglas write in their Unofficial Guide to Having a Baby [2004:732 (eBook version)]: "Bright Idea...Pushing in a semisitting...position may make it easier for your pelvis to open up..." Semisitting CLOSES the pelvic outlet - up to 30%. PREGNANT WOMEN: WARNING: American medicine's most common delivery positions - semisitting and dorsal - close the birth canal up to 30%. It's EASY to allow your pelvis to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%. Just roll onto your side as you push your baby out...or use kneeling, or standing, or hands-and-knees BEWARE - some OBs and CNMwives will let you "try" "alternative" delivery positions but will move you BACK to semisitting or dorsal (close your birth canal up to 30%!) as you push your baby out! Talk to your OB or CNMwife about this TODAY. See Pregnancy Trivia Quiz - the 30% trivia question... http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2532 You do NOT have to squat to allow your pelvis to open maximally. Thanks for reading, Sincerely, Todd Dr. Gastaldo Copied to: John R. Sussman, MD via: , , , , , John, please immediately - publicly - tell the world that OBs are closing birth canals - and how easy it is for women to allow their birth canals to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%.
