Hello all. This is my first time on here writing so I hope I make sense in what I'm about to write.
I am soon to be a dad again with our sixth child any day now! (not crazy and yes we have a TV lol). We have planned for a home birth again as my wifes labours are quick, last labour was only 40 minutes and I had the joy of helping deliver our baby as the midwife and ambulance could not get here quick enough, So this time around maybe just as quick or even quicker.
We have found that the less intervention the easier the pregnancy has been this time around, but now the midwives at the hospital when discussing our home birth plan, they put the scare factor in with my wife these past couple of weeks about the risk of the baby getting stuck. So I was wondering if anyone knows if there is anything that I can do should the for mentioned above happen if the baby gets stuck? I have read and researched some things but I only seem to find the explanation of why baby may get stuck but nothing on techniques to try if midwife and ambulance do not get to us in time. The chances are slim but I would like to be prepared as I want my wife to be confident and comfortable throughout. I am calm and confident anyway in situations and I'm not squeamish either so my wife already feels comfortable with me helping deliver again. I would appreciate any advice or questions you may have.
One final note:
Massive respect to all mums and mums to be sacrificing your body to help create another human being and just know that despite your body transformation from start to finish and afterwards, you are still beautiful and be proud of the scars and battle wounds as they tell the story of how your child came to be.
