Is it possible for the skull bones of a 42 week foetus to be too hard to squeeze through the pelvis, without there being anything "wrong" with skull (like fused bones or similar)?
I saw an old post on here where someone said that happened with their baby (it was Janeybops I think), and I read an article that mentioned it recently.
My ds was born by cs at 42+1 because of arrest of descent - his head didn't move down from zero station in 17 hrs of active labour (I was 9cm by the end) - and I wonder if this is why? There was no obvious malpositioning.
