Asking what people's birth experiences were after having a forceps delivery

[claire0209]

I had quite a traumatic forceps delivery for my first baby. It's not put me off having another but just wondering what others experiences were second time round? We're forceps required again etc. My baby was also back to back and I was in agony as soon as my waters broke and contractions started, have others found this?

Ooh I also did hypnobirthing and a planned home birth (but was happy to go in if needed/I fancied it).

Natural birth standing up second time.

I also had a poor forceps delivery for my first born OP. I haven't started TTC number 2 yet but I had a debrief at the hospital months after the birth and I specifically asked about the likelihood of needing forceps again. I was told that only 3% it people who have forceps then require them on subsequent births.... so that bodes well for us I hope! 😁

I had a traumatic forceps delivery with my first.
I was offered at ELCS for my second but my Obstetrician advised it was not needed.
Second, like first, was an early induction. Had a great delivery, gas and air only, baby born 4 hours after waters were broken. I had my lunch, shower and phonecall to DD1 within 90 mins! Night and day.

Forceps, double epistiomy, 2 x Fentons procedures firet time.

2nd - induced early to ensure baby smaller. Gas and air, regular delivery and no stitches
