Forceps delivery

Forceps delivery is a medical procedure used to assist in childbirth when labor isn't progressing smoothly. It involves a healthcare provider placing tong-like instruments called forceps around the baby's head to gently guide and help bring the baby out through the birth canal. This technique is typically used in cases of maternal exhaustion, fetal distress, or other complications. The procedure requires skill to ensure the safety of both mother and baby. It is usually performed in a hospital setting with close monitoring to minimize risks and promote a successful delivery.
