The value of appliedmidwifery: Can we please start utilizingmanipulation, rotation, and early pushing?
O
ver time observing the labor of pregnant women and the styles employed by midwives in the
process, there is a potential for improvement that has not been explored. This presentation is aimed
at review of the tried-and-true labor process to gain clarity on the focus of promoting manipulation of
the foetus and the maternal pelvis. This is in effort of increased successful vaginal birth over failed
vaginal birth resulting in complications, Caesarean Birth, and potential morbidity. Comparison is
made between American styles and the style used in Somaliland, which are vastly different, but both
with failed deliveries and rising Caesarean birth and continued mortality associated with giving birth.
Leaving many questions, this presentation explores the potential of manipulation to make a difference in
the outcomes of rising Caesarean birth and continued maternal lives lost. Risk of manipulation include
infection for both mother and child, fetal distress, persistent failed vaginal birth or progress. Further
research needs to be conducted to fully explore manipulation as a trained technique for midwives in
failing progress of labor
