💠 THE RHOMBUS OF MICHAELIS 💠
◇
This area of the pelvis is formed by the lower lumbar vertebrae, the sacrum, and a ligament that extends from the skull to the sacrum. It’s often described as taking the shape of a kite.
◇
When the cervix is fully dilated in an undisturbed, physiological birth, the body often shows signs that the baby is moving down:
❤️ Reaching up to hold on.
❤️ The back arching.
❤️ The head tipping back.
❤️ Hands pressing against the back of the pelvis.
◇
These movements happen as the “kite” shifts backward, widening the pelvis and allowing the muscles to open. This adjustment creates crucial extra space for the baby’s shoulders to rotate and descend.
◇
Experienced traditional midwives may not feel compelled to check the cervix at this stage. They recognize these behaviors as natural signs of descent and know birth is close when the mother begins to “open her back.”
◇
Recognizing these instinctive patterns means we can trust the process, protect the mother’s space, and avoid unnecessary interventions.
◇
Sometimes, simply seeing is more powerful than touching. Unwanted hands can interrupt, intrude, and slow the flow of labor.

Melanie The Midwife dropped a bit of a bomb on Insta this morning that got people talking about CTG monitoring. She then handballed it off to me to keep the conversation moving. In case you missed it - this was part of my contribution.
