Forceps Delivery
Belgravia | Dulwich
What is Forceps Delivery?
Forceps delivery is a form of assisted vaginal delivery that’s sometimes needed during the birthing process. This method involves using a pair of curved instruments (forceps) to help guide the baby’s head out of the birth canal. It is typically recommended when the baby is showing signs of distress, or when the labour isn’t progressing as planned.
Why Might You Need a Forceps Delivery?
There are several reasons why a doctor may recommend forceps delivery, including:
- To speed up delivery in case of labour complications.
- If the baby is in an awkward position and needs help moving through the birth canal.
- If the mother is exhausted or unable to push the baby out on her own.

What to Expect During a Forceps Delivery
- Preparation: You will receive an epidural or local anaesthetic to ensure comfort during the procedure.
- The Delivery: The obstetrician will gently place the forceps around your baby’s head to help guide them out during your contractions.
- Post-Delivery Care: After delivery, our team will provide immediate postnatal care to both you and your baby, ensuring a healthy start to your new life together.
