Forceps and vacuum extractors are sometimes used during labor and delivery despite risk of brain damage.

 Most people associate the use of forceps during delivery as a “last resort,” when all other efforts have failed, to quickly deliver a baby. For many years it has been an accepted practice.

Forceps are sometimes used to deliver babies when birth complications arise. It is important for women to know the potential risks to both mother and child during forceps assisted births.
