I know how you feel, these things happen alot and make you feel useless and in the way and unable to cope at first. I did feel very much like that at the start and tbh still do now as there is still a long way to go!

We have alot to learn in a short space of time and we do get thrown in at the deep end, I have not yet seen a shoulder dystocia, but have seen other serious problems and just try my best to keep out of the way and take it all in, at first it was scary, but becomes easier!

All I can say is write it all down, and use a reflective model and talk to your cohort buds, tutor and mentor about what happened and how you felt, go off and read about it too and look at the trust guidelines for the mangement of, manoevures etc, next time you'll be able to understand and thus cope with it!

That's what i do and it works for me (still have a good ol' cry though too!)
It was a good thing to see so early on and you'll learn alot from it, was it all ok in the end?

Hope you're alright?
