http://www.nucleusinc.com This 3D medical animation clearly shows the use of the McRobert's Maneuver to release a baby's shoulder from impingement on the mothers pubic symphysis during bitrth. The mother's legs are flexed toward her shoulders as she lays on her back to expand the pelvic outlet. A ghosted view of the mothers pelvis shows the baby's shoulder releasing from the pubic symphysis.

  • Not being flat on ...

    Not being flat on the back during pregnancy and labor is best because better circulation is delivered to the baby. However, during pushing and delivery being in the supine position with the legs back (McRobert's) may help the shoulders deliver as shown in the video. If there is an apparent problem with circulation (decrease in fetal heartrate, or "decelerations") during pushing the mom can be placed in a different position for pushing and turned back to McRoberts if necessary for delivery.
