Terms
Operative Vaginal Delivery: a birth in which the operator uses forceps, a vacuum device, or another instrument to extract the fetus from the vagina, with or without concurrent maternal pushing.
Forceps Delivery: a form of assisted delivery using an instrument that grasps the baby’s head, that can help mothers deliver their babies vaginally when labor is not progressing.
Vacuum Delivery: is a method to assist delivery of a baby using a vacuum device.
Occiput Posterior Position: your baby's head is down, but it is facing the mother's front instead of her back. It is safe to deliver a baby facing this way. But it is harder for the baby to get through the pelvis.
Trial of Labor After Cesarean (TOLAC): Patients who have undergone a previous cesarean birth have the option of proceeding with a trial of labor if they have had two or less cesareans.
Please talk to your provider to see if your hospital offer this option
