Sometimes if the baby is in a funny position or is far down in the birth canal they need to be pulled back up into the uterus to get them out? But generally forceps arent used in c/s. Might need to ask your ob why?

This often happens with people that are in labour for hours and pushing pushing but not fitting through the cervix for one reason or another. Also explains why some bubs are born with strangly shaped heads (cones etc).
