This approach is foundationally unique and diverges from mainstream medical trainings in that it recognizes that babies’ shoulders can get caught in different locations, directions, and at different levels of the pelvis. We go beyond teaching maneuvers to teaching how the shoulders can be impacted at these pelvic levels. To free the shoulders, one can match the baby’s location of where it is caught to the movements and maneuvers shown in The Pelvic Levels SolutionsSM. In this way, our knowledge of anatomy, maternal positioning, and maneuvers come together as we choose timely solutions when every moment counts. In the Resolving Shoulder Dystocia Guide, we recognize there are various resources we can use to increase the space available where the baby is stuck so that the baby can be born. It may be sufficient to change maternal positioning or to use a specific techniques or maneuvers to free the baby. Although we may not always know where the baby is stuck, we follow the clues towards a resolution. We keep going until it is found. Also on our website we have free downloadable “Companion Cards” that summarize some of the key actions in the much more detailed guide - these can be added to the midwife’s birth bag. (Link in bio) The Resolving Shoulder Dystocia Guide is a companion guide to the Resolving Shoulder Dystocia Workshop, created by @gailtullymidwife founder of @spinningbabies , and expanded through synergistic mentoring with @nicolemoralesmidwife co-owner @restorybirthwork. Nicole and Gail are teaching Resolving Shoulder Dystocia inperson throughout the US this year. Visit our website for dates and locations! Nicole Morales was recently a keynote presenter for @goldlearning at their conference entitled resolving Shoulder Dystocia: Beyond Biomechanics We just finished filming a comprehensive online course for which the Guide is a supportive resource. This course will be available toward the end of the year. Follow us to stay connected and learn about incredible resources for nourishing your path of becoming as a birthworker.

Day 5! What makes this course different besides all of the other things I have mentioned? Asking the question of where is the baby’s shoulders in the pelvis - “Where is this baby stuck?” We can use that information and choose a technique that may bring more ease. Restorybirthwork.com

Day 4 of going through the Resolving Shoulder Dystocia Guide. This is a simple concept that I’ve never heard mentioned before I started discussing it in shoulder dystocia workshops. A new perspective is to look at the whole instead of the hole. Midwifery does this well but we sometimes just need a reminder. (And, no, this will not work all of the time, but it might head off some of the long pushing phases and reduce certain chances for certain people.)
