A Breech Birth and Shoulder Dystocia In two 10-minute segments, this video shows the natural delivery of an 8 lb. 6 oz. baby, a frank breech presentation. This is the third child of a 34-year old mother, who needs no anesthesia or episiotomy. The second birth is unexpectedly complicated by shoulder dystocia. The 10 lb. 8 oz. baby is arrested at the shoulders. Correct management and technique results in a quick delivery with no anesthesia, episiotomy or tear.*
