Jumping on stomach during birth (abroad)

[boboismylove]

Almost 10 months ago when I gave birth nurses and doctors jumped on my stomach while I was giving birth abroad (in non EU country). I still find it quite traumatic. I'm sure they don't do this now in UK but wondering if anyone has heard of this happening abroad, or in the past here...

Frusso is describing a completely different situation, OP. Sometimes firm pressure on the top of the abdomen is needed when breaking the waters if there is a lot of fluid. This is to prevent a cord prolapse, which is a dangerous emergency for the baby.

What happened to you is absolutely forbidden in the UK and would never happen here.
