I was told that the doctor was sitting on the floor and my mother on the edge of the bed to deliver me... so I am assuming he used his hands to pull me out...
I had high forceps delivery for all three of my own children. The doctor said he had to fracture my cyocc (sp) to delivery my first child. My second and third child were also high forceps. the (jerk) who delivered him told me his arm was transverse..
My first child has a trigemynal (sp) nerve damage to her face (not noticable) we did not discover it until she was older. I did not realize all the things that happened when she was born nor how many mistakes they made that cause the traumatic delivery for both of us. She had a black chest when she was born and no forehead to speak of ... My children were not injured like me so I feel I am lucky now.

No vacuum or forceps...just the petite little hands of my midwife pulling on Amber's head. Thanks a bunch!

Doctors hands. Kyle came out very bruised on his face and down the whole left side of his body and all the blood vessels in his eyes ruptured so he had blood shot eyes for weeks.

Re: Forceps, Vacuum, or Hands Survey
Just a stupid midwifes hands was enough to cause my daughter a life long disability,shoulder dystocia. 3 good pulls to her head (admitted to by the hospital in question in their explanation of what went wrong!).Good episiotomy, caught my labia too - owww, took 16 weeks to heal.Two pairs of hands inside me pulling at my little girl, knees touching my chin, and 130Kilo midwife applying suprapubic pressure too. How dignified does that sound! English mother to a beautiful little girl who continues to astound me daily!

Re: Forceps, Vacuum, or Hands Survey
Forceps were used, but I don't know how the injury was caused and am wondering how other mothers know what caused the injury (hands, forceps...).
