Did you know shoulder dystocia is one of the top two reasons for birth lawsuits in the U.S.? Did you further know that keeping women on their backs increases the odds of shoulder dystocia? Youd think wed want to do everything possibly to avoid an incident that can result in brain damage or fatality, yet some hospitals and care givers insist on keeping women on their backs and in stirrups.

You cannot legally be forced onto your back or into stirrups.
