Descent of baby

Have a quick query re descent of baby in labour - my notes describe my ventouse delivery as being low cavity and from station +1. However, a quick glance at the table on page 2 of this indicates that RCOG defines low cavity as being at station +2 or more. This seems to suggest that I actually had a mid-cavity delivery rather than a low-cavity one. Or have I misunderstood this? I'd be v grateful if a midwife/doula/other person with techy knowledge about birth would help clarify!

Thanks!

Hiya, a ventouse is only done low cavity...hence the term 'lift out' :-)
