Sometimes it is necessary to guide the baby’s head along the birth canal using forceps (2 large spoons) applied to baby’s head. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The method is sometimes used during Fetal distress, prolonged second stage of labour, a delay of delivery due to the baby’s position or the mother is too tired to push. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Studies have shown that assisting with delivery this way does not pose any greater risk to the mother or the baby than a C-section. When applied properly, forceps would very rarely cause any permanent injury to the baby. The forceps’ marks on the baby’s cheeks usually disappear in a few days. Very rarely, the baby’s facial nerves may be temporarily injured. The resulting drooping of facial muscles almost always recovers completely in a matter of weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
