 How often do doctors request a push-up during an unplanned cesarian?
The standard response is to perform a caesarean section. One audit has suggested that roughly 8,000 babies get stuck and have to be delivered by caesarean at a stage when their mothers are fully dilated. In a protracted birth that's destined to end with a caesarean, the longer the labour is allowed to go on before the obstetrician decides to intervene, the greater the likelihood that the baby's head will become impacted. When obstetricians doing planned caesareans slice open a mother's womb, what they usually see is the baby's head. Although registrars are doctors still in training, they're nonetheless experienced; which suggests requests for push-ups during unplanned caesareans are far from uncommon.
