Are forceps commonly used in C sections to get the baby out?

No forceps used in mine either.

They used forceps in my c-section. I think they were saying his head was stuck behind something...my placenta maybe? I had placenta previa though. Afterwards his head was a little mishappen but snaps back into place in no time since the skull is so soft.

I have a tiny neat scar, so I think it goes along with what saffy was saying as i was surprised at how short my scar was and found it hard to believe they pulled a baby out of there, but maybe thats another part of the reason they used forceps in my DS's birth cos the incision was so short.
