I read about it recently...trying to remember where...

Never heard of that. Maybe this is naive of me, but I feel like I'd rather a vaginal check and someone prying my butt cheeks apart...Especially with all the gross stuff that will probably come out of there around labor...
Sorry, gross.

It works! A midwife showed me this a long time ago on a doula client, and I've watched it ever since. You don't need to "pry butt cheeks apart" to see it, just glance at a womans butt while she's on her hands and knees or bent over and it's obvious. I'm typically standing at her butt doing counterpressure for most of labor anyway.

@boiledpnut: I don't think it shows up on ALL women. I've seen it on a lot of them, but I've heard midwives say that some women don't get it.

@Arden: Ah, glancing down and seeing it sounds much nicer than the image i had in my head! That makes more sense then
