A vacuum or forceps delivery could be riskier than a C-section for mom and baby. A large study finds forceps and vacuum deliveries can lead to more physical trauma for a mother and baby than a C-section would.

- Eye trauma.
- Facial palsy, which is muscle weakness in the face.
- Facial injuries from the pressure of the forceps.
- Skull fractures that may cause bleeding in the brain.
