baby's posterior shoulder to release the impacted anterior shoulder])

contractions, labor stimulation, versions, and placental attachment abnormalities—placenta
accreta, placenta increta, and placenta percreta)
• Retained placental fragment most common cause of PPH, subinvolution, uterine
infection
