Do you/will you let the dr use forceps, suction or pull on baby in any way?

They used forceps and a suction on my first daughter :-/

Yikes! Why both? Why do they even need them?? I wonder IF I can decline something like that...where is doulala or louzanny..err however you spell them!

They yanked my daughter out of me with my 2nd.

No, I would not allow them to do that if there wasn't a reason to get them out quickly.  However, I have a midwife and she doesn't have any of those things anyways. 

Yikes!!

I wonder if I can decline. Why do they do that?? Whats the reason?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!

I had been drugged and was hyperventilating, my daughter was crowning and because I wasn't breathing correctly she wasn't getting oxygen.  There were way better ways to handle the situation, but OB's aren't always trained in those ways.  My OB wouldn't have done that though if I hadn't been freaking out.  He also cut me and between that and the resulting tear (from his hands going in to grab her) I ended up with a 4th degree tear.  Lots of fun damage.

No, I would not allow that. I came out with forceps, and I turned out okay, but that doesn't mean I want them doing that to my baby.

Of course you can say no to anything the hospital wants to do. Whether they will respect your wishes is hit or miss.
There are good techniques to naturally and safely move a stuck baby during birth.

You probably won't have the chance--    You might be able to but it doesn't mean the doctor will stop.     And by the time you realize it is happening it may be too late.   One yank is enough.

To avoid this (and many other) complications it is safest to work for as normal a labor experience as possible.     Avoiding unnecessary risks & interventions is important--  including lying down/having someone "deliver" the baby (other than yourself).       You have options, sure, you can give birth without any hands or eyes in that area~

I would NOT allow that at all
