Very true... my best friend had to have forceps deliveries with all 3 of her boys. Another friend of mine has four kids, and every one was born with some sort of genetic disorder where they have to go get transfusions until a certain age. But, they all lived and are healthy, "normal" kids.
My doctor didn't have time to use forceps. He was taking a nap, actually. He broke my water, and then told the nurses he was going to lie down and to wake him up when it was time for the delivery. Nurses do everything anyway. It was very funny. They all called him by his first name and pretty much were like "yeah, go take a nap, we'll call you if we need you".
When the monitor stopped beeping, and I asked why we couldn't hear the heart beat anymore, one of the nurses checked the wire and then ran out of the room. Her and the doctor came running back in and the next 5 minutes were hell. He gave me a episiotomy, with no pain killer, and stuck his hand up me to free her head. When he told me to stop screaming I told him to get his fucking hand out of me. Those were my exact words. "Get your fucking hand out of me".
She was the most beautiful baby in the nursery. She really was. Except for the head bump, and the pink knit cap covered that, she didn't have a mark on her. She was just perfect. All the babies had blotches, or just looked like they'd been through a mill. But she was just the prettiest baby there. You could have put her on the cover of a baby food jar.
The head bump finally went away. But the damn kid just wouldn't grow any hair. She was about 3 before she really had what you'd call a real head of hair. So when she was a baby I bought a lot of outfits that came with caps or bonnets to cover it up. It was the size of one of those Cadbury Creme Eggs you buy at Easter and it was on one side of the top of her head.
Shit, now I have this urge to go feel the top of her head to see if you can still feel it. She's 13 now, and I don't think that would go over very big. It would annoy the hell out of her, though, and that alone would make it worth it.
