Symphysiotomy

Symphysiotomy is when doctors have to break a special bone in a mommy's tummy to make it bigger so her baby can come out. This is only done when the mommy is having a really hard time pushing the baby out and the baby or mommy could get hurt. After the baby is born, the doctors will fix the bone so it can heal back together. It's like fixing a puzzle!
