That has always amused me about the US - again just more cultural
differences. I know that stirrups exist, I have seen them in the hospital,
but they certainly arent common place here, even in the ob and gyne's
office. I have never been in stirrups - ever.

LOL Karen.  I had to use stirrups to deliver Louise because that was 
hospital protocol for a vaginal breech back then and the other day I took a 
woman up to theatre for a ventouse (suction cup) delivery and was very proud 
of the fact that I didn't know how to set up the stirrups I had to get the 
OT staff to show me how.  The only reason this woman got stirrups was 
because we were doing a ventouse with a spinal block so she couldn't hold 
her own legs up.
