VIDM 2020 :: Transformation of the Uterus and the Dance of Labour
Facilitators Chris Woodhouse and Buky Afolabi
Presents a new biomechanical model of uterine function, explaining the mechanism of uterine activity in terms of the mechanical properties of uterine tissue. Once the power is unleashed, the fetus sets the pace. Tells how the movements of mother and baby work with – or against – the uterus to position the baby optimally for the journey through the pelvis. How midwives can enable mothers to work with their baby and their uterus to achieve better birth.
