I'm only about 10 weeks with DC2 gone so birth is very far off, but have been scaring myself reading about forceps births and what can go wrong.
I really REALLY don't want anyone coming near me with forceps, dont have an issue with suction or a c section if i need either but not forceps. Does anyone know if it's ok to refuse forceps? and if so, will they pay any attention? im hopefully gonna give birth in the birthing centre attached to the hospital so this will hopefully be a non issue, but had a few problems last time (large baby, big head, back to back) and I'm anticipating bigger baby this time, so forceps may be suggested. DP thinks I'm being ridiculous about it all but this is making me anxious already (don't take much tbh).
