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

Shanti - Yes. I had a classical cut c section last time which increases the risk of rupture. I have done research and posted a thread on here and another premmie forum. If I didn't have a classical I would aim for a VBAC definitely, but the thought of losing my baby and my uterus is terrifying. If i wanted to try a VBAC it would have to be a home birth, as I know my OB wont support a VBAC and I haven't heard of any that do with a classical. I would be too scared to HB with my cardiac history, let alone my obstetric history.. Anyway, what are you still doing here? Bubba is comfy hey? lol

You need to do what is safest for you and your baby so it sounds to me like you've done your research and a CS is most probably the safest option for you then

I know, I know, bring on labour right..... what can I say.... my bubba's don't come out in a hurry!
