Hi there,
Had my lovely DD on Monday - ended with ventouse then forceps. She was a big baby - 9 pounds 11. Straight after she was born the Dr came and said to me that it wasn't my fault it had ended how it did (think I was apologising profusely to the baby at this point). Anyway, she said that her head was in the wrong position which is why she'd got stuck and I wouldn't have been able to get her out. She wasn't back to back I don't think but I think her head was facing up instead of down, does that sound right? Just trying to get an idea of exactly what was wrong with her position.
Thanks to anyone who can help, I may ask for my notes at some point but not brave enough at the moment.
