Baby #2
I again was able to assist with a delivery and see the differences in practice. This was a mother who had a prolonged labor with her first child and it appeared this was to be the same but with some assistance, the baby finally delivered. A couple of differences were that there was a fair amount of manual external pressure applied and second, baby oil was applied vaginally. I thought the oil was a bit unusual as the deliveries I've been involved with I've been more worried about dropping the slippery baby then anything else. I was sure this one was going to shoot right out into the bucket.
