So by now I've heard of some pretty rough deliveries (having pieces of scalp being torn off by vaccums for example) but we have a term baby right now who definitely had a rough start...
Mom is 16 (Dad is 14... don't even get me started on that one...). Mom is diabetic. MDs didn't want to do C-section on such a young Mom. So instead, they end-up using forceps, and literally pulling the baby out. The poor baby (who by the way is >10lbs) ended up with a nice chunk taken out of her cheek from the forceps, brachial plexus injury on her right side, and a broken left humerous! Seriously....
All of that just to not do a C-section (No I dont' know the specifics on why they didnt' do a section... that could be a whole thread in itself...)
Our Neo who attendend the delivery said that the OB had their hands so far up, that it looked more like a calf birthing ... geez.
Anybody else seen anything like this???
