On Today's episode, Sarah and Charli answer a listener's question about shoulder dystocia and her baby's NICU admission during a previous birth. Now pregnant again, she wonders if she should expect another shoulder dystocia and what steps she can take to prepare. This episode explores factors contributing to shoulder dystocia, the likelihood of recurrence, and how personalized care, maternal positioning, and midwifery support can empower families and lead to a positive birth experience.
