  If the body is relatively weak during the delivery of the baby, it is still possible to choose the method of cesarean section or vaginal delivery to ensure the smooth birth of the fetus.

Is forceps assisted delivery considered vaginal delivery1

  Midwifery with forceps is an auxiliary method for vaginal delivery. The use of forceps for childbirth is actually relatively safe, but there are also some risks, such as improper operation, which can cause damage to the cervix and vaginal wall. If these processes harm the baby, there may also be swelling or hematoma. However, most doctors have very professional skills and a series of rigorous training, so as long as parents cooperate with the doctor's guidance, there should be no obvious harm.

  The main risk of using forceps lies in manual operation of the instruments, which may result in slight operational errors such as inaccurate positioning and interference with the normal function of the cervix. In addition, some doctors may not have good skills, and if they accidentally touch the baby's body parts, they may experience developmental delays or damage hematoma, etc.

  Of course, after giving birth to the baby, whether it is a vaginal delivery or a cesarean section, pregnant mothers should pay attention to postpartum confinement, which lasts for about one to two months, to see the recovery of their body. If the postpartum woman has not shown any recovery effect, it is still necessary to continue maintaining healthy habits such as good sleep and diet.
