UC & baby head touchers......

I belong to a forum for mummies and daddies and those who are WTT (waiting to concieve) or TTC (trying to concieve) and one of the members found this link on another site....................
Its about women who give birth unassisted (medically) and insert their fingers into their 'nethers' to find babys head (cervical check) either when their far gone or in labour.Some of them do it to find out how far dilated they are but most do it because its a bonding thing/spurs them on to push harder or just because they enjoy it.
What do you think about this?
I for one certainly would not ever do it (for a few reasons)

How can something that feels so good be so wrong? (Cervical Checks) - MotheringDotCommunity Forums

Re: UC & baby head touchers......

isnt it illegal to have an unassisted delivery on purpose?

in answer to your question... no!! i would be too worried about hurting her or messing with the cervix/plug... theres also the possibility of giving yourself an infection, the midwife knows what she is doing, not me... i did feel tys head (gently) as he crowned tho.

and im worried that you said hand and not fingers lol

Re: UC & baby head touchers......

With the amount of babies some of these women have had i wouldn't be shocked if it was their handS they were using im not being nasty by saying this (am i?)........but when some women are trying to concieve number 8 or 9 im just a bit shocked.Especially as i can't even decide whether to have baby no 2.

Personally i wouldn't even have a baby at home, never mind without a MW(!) but thats just me.

According to the below article that is just a myth.

Re: UC & baby head touchers......

oh, still dont fancy it tho.

one of the mummy forums i am a member of some of the ladies have been talking about unassisted pregnancies as well..... i wouldnt want to go through pregnancy without seeing a midwife, having a scan or hearing the babies heart beat.

Nursing & Midwifery Council - Free or unassisted birthing

Legal position
In the UK it is legal to give birth at home without any professional or medical help.

However, it is illegal for an unqualified, unregistered person to perform the role of a doctor or midwife during the birth.

I wonder how many husbands and partners who end up playing emergency midwife as baby's head emerges at home/in the car are prosecuted.

Oh right....your quote said it is illegal for an unqualified, unregistered person to play the role of doctor or midwife during the birth.

It didn't mention whether or not it was an emergency.
