[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like [b]it’s important to differentiate unassisted vaginal delivery from forceps/vacuum delivery.  Does anyone know how instance of prolapse differs there?[/b]  I feel like this is similar to the scheduled c vs c section after labor difference in outcomes.  FWIW my birth classes didn’t spend much time on pelvic floor injuries but it was clear about the pros and cons of lots of interventions and I came away thinking c sections were WAY less scary than forceps.  And this was a “natural birth” class too!  [/quote]

This is important to know on a population level, but can't really help a mom trying to decide what she should do.  I told my midwives that I wanted a vaginal birth but if it meant forceps or vacuum I'd rather just have a c-section, and the response was that's not an option.  Because by the time you're far enough along to know you need an assisted vaginal birth, it's too late to elect a c-section.  The list of preferred paths (1. easy vaginal, 2. scheduled c, 3-500 everything else) remains unchanged, and you still can't really [i]choose [/i]an easy vaginal birth for your first kid.  You have to just take a leap of faith and hope your physiology complies with your ideal.[/quote]
