Thank you so much for this content. I'm still a bit confused about how filling the bladder of the mother helps in the management of cord prolapse. Please share some light on this. Thank you.
The bladder sits anteriorly to the uterus so a full bladder can cause displacement of the uterus and thus relieve pressure on the presenting part. The reverse of why you want an empty bladder for delivery.
