I'm 39 weeks pregnant and I was getting slightly nervous about labour. This really soothed my fears. Our bodies (both mother's and baby's) are really impressive. Everything will be okay.Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this video, have poured over many paragraphs trying to understand this as a medstudent but your video with animations was the best thing 🙌 !!
Wonderful Tora! I'm so glad you find it helpful. You can stream my entire library of medically related videos (including a large collection of obstetrically related videos) at: trialimage.com
This is fascinating! Just curious for personal experience, but how is this affected with a twin birth? My fist pregnancy was a successful vaginal birth but now I'm expecting twins and am kind of nervous.
Hi Maryandra - typically in a twin birth, the process is identical - with one twin navigating the birth canal, then the second following behind. It's very rare for both twins to get stuck trying to navigate the birth canal simultaneously. I wish you and your new twins all the best!
Hi Ash - the baby's descent into the pelvis can be determined both on physical examination or by ultrasound. Many mothers can sense the change in position when descent occurs...
