forceps removed after baby crowning?From: anonymous@obgyn.netMon, 5 Apr 1999 19:03:16 -0500 (CDT)
I am curious about a technique my OB used during the delivery of my son, who was "stuck" at +1/+2 station and was brought down with forceps. All the forceps deliveries I had ever heard of involved pulling the baby all the way out. Instead the OB brought the baby under the symphysis pubis to a near-crowning position and then removed the forceps. My son was then born over the next three or so contractions, I think two for the head and one for the body. (Obviously this was not a big emergency -- I assume he would have brought the baby out ASAP if there had been fetal distress.) 1) Does this technique have a name? 2) How commonly is it used? 3) What is the point of it?
