I had to have forceps used during the birth of my 2nd daughter, which ended up in a c-section anyway due to my narrow pelvis(my 1st was a month early so no problem w/vaginal delivery). I ended up with nerve damage due to it, which resolved after a few months.
My worry is, could the forceps have caused me to now have an incompetent cervix? I know preobably in most cases no, but I wonder is there a chance? I have heard damage to the cervix can cause incompetent cervix, and maybe the forceps could have damaged my cervix as well. I have been feeling occasional pressure and pain in my vagina/cervix area recently and now I have myself so worried over it.
I just want to hear from anybody who has had a forceps assisted delivery and if they had a subsequent pregnancy and how it went, positive or not, even if they didnt have complications like the nerve damage I had. I will have my Dr check at my next app., but thats a month away, wonder if I should call him now, or if you think I'm just worrying for nothing?
