Question 1

Accepted Answer

Training: If an operative assisted vaginal delivery is necessary, it will depend on what instrument the obstetrician performing the operation was trained on, whether the vacuum or the forceps will be used.

Question 2

what are the symptoms of shoulder getting stuck during delivery?

Accepted Answer

Shoulder dystocia: Shoulder dystocia is a serious problem, resulting in the infant being stuck in the birth canal.  Your obstetrician is well versed in dealing with this problem during delivery.

Question 3

what is the part that stretches when a baby's head is crowned during delivery)?

Accepted Answer

Pelvic and vagina m.: The vaginal and pelvic floor muscles.

Question 4

what is the definition or description of: shoulder getting stuck during delivery?

Accepted Answer

: Well, when a baby is born, typically the head comes out first and then the shoulders need to come out next. The width of the shoulders is wider than the head. Therefore, the shoulders have to roll in a bit but even then, sometimes one of the shoulders has difficulty passing down and that is "shoulder getting stuck during delivery". A few maneuvers by the doctor usually helps move it along.

Question 5

i'm 30 yrs old married women. one month back i have lost my second child during delivery, how to stop that?

Accepted Answer

Miscarriage: First, I am so sorry about the loss of your child. You should contact a high-risk specialist if this is your second loss. He/ she may be able to understand why this is happening (there are many possible reasons), what testing you need, and how to prevent you from losing another child. Best of luck to you.

Question 6

what happens if i tear during delivery?

Accepted Answer

Repair: Although the most natural of events occurring over tens of thousands of years, there are still some "kinks" to work out with this thing called childbirth.  Occasionally, tears do occur, and the physician or midwife you've entrusted with your care should know how to repair these birth "lacerations" and, most likely, avoid any long-standing problems.

Question 7

do women forget the pain during delivery ?

Accepted Answer

Delivery: Definitely not. Women can tolerate a lot more pain than men.

Question 8

what should i bring my other children during delivery?

Accepted Answer

A babysitter: You will probably be very busy and distracted and will need someone to supervise and entertain them.

Question 9

if i tear during delivery will they sew me up or just leave it?

Accepted Answer

Repair is likely: Most physicians will repair any laceration that occurs during delivery unless it is very small and not bleeding. Suture used for the repair will dissolve on its own and does not need to be removed later.

Question 10

is it ok to not remove my gellish french nails during delivery?

Accepted Answer

Not sure what means?: I am not exactly sure what you are asking. If you are asking if you have to remove fake nails to have a vaginal delivery then the answer is no.
