Compared to cesarean section, many mothers choose vaginal delivery. However, during vaginal delivery, if the mother's contraction elasticity is poor or the baby's head does not cooperate, birth forceps are needed. Doctors can use birth forceps to smoothly deliver the baby. So, what does it feel like to use forceps for vaginal delivery?
Mothers who choose vaginal delivery require the joint action of the mother's birth canal and the position of the baby's head to deliver smoothly. However, for cases where the mother's birth canal is narrow and the baby's head is not conducive to delivery, doctors will use forceps to correct the baby's head and deliver smoothly. When using forceps, they only clamp the baby's head and do not extend too long into the birth canal. Generally, it is only for a short period of time, and the mother may feel a little cold without any discomfort.
The birth forceps are just a tool that can shorten the labor process during the baby's delivery, helping the mother to deliver smoothly without causing harm to the baby or the mother in case of improper force, lack of force, or improper head position of the baby. However, there are also some dangers when using birth forceps. If not handled properly, it may cause abrasions to the mother's birth canal, lead to infections, or have a negative impact on the development of the baby's head skin and brain, causing the baby to develop head skin infections and even edema.
