Guest guest Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I was curious how many here had a forcep deleivery? Our son got stuck when I was in labor, his head was at an odd angle and forceps were used. ~ 3 weeks I found a bump on the side of his neck, we had an ultrasound done on it and the docs thought it was caused by an injurty to the neck. So, he was diagnosed with torticollis. We did (and still do every 4-6 weeks) PT and the tort is resolved. But, we ended up with plagio. We have been in the helmet for almost 7 weeks and have seen great results we may only have a few weeks left. The specialist said he was probably sitting at an odd angle the last part of my pregnancy and the forceps did not cuase the tort. But, he seemed to move quite a bit the entire pregnancy. He wasn't a big baby in weight, 7 lbs 4 oz, but he was almost 22 " long. I am only 5 feet and pretty petite. Funny enought, at out last appt with our orthotist, we were taking to another Mom with a kiddo in a helmet and she had a forcep delivary as well. If we have another baby, and the doc wants to use forceps, I am going to do anything to have a c-section. I really feel like the forcep delivary imjured out sons neck causing the tort.
