Delivery of a child is a miraculous event. Childbirth can occur vaginally, vaginally assisted, or surgically through cesarean section (C-section). Assisted births include difficult births that require the use of forceps or vacuum to assist the birth of the baby. The Delivery HealthMap discusses indications for cesarean delivery, compares the safety of forceps and vacuum-assisted devices, and describes the various positions of the baby negotiating the birth canal.
