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

Ok I'm feeling a bit thick after reading this, i have no idea if they used forceps!
How do you know? Did they tell you, did you ask, did you see them...?

Oh wow! I didn't think they let partners see past the screen. How cool for you

Just wanted to update that with the c/s for the boys last week no forceps were used as they were in good positions for the Ob to just put pressure on the top of my tummy to get them out.

We also have photo's of the whole procedure which one of the theatre staff took for us, it is awesome as in one shot you can see Rhys being delivered (Twin 1) and Liam's membranes bulging out of my tummy before he was delivered. If you can get pic's it is a fantastic thing to have.
