If they use too much force when helping to deliver your child with forceps or vacuum, they can cause bruising or bone fractures. If they delay the birth by allowing too long of a labor, the baby can be born with cerebral palsy or other brain damage. Other problems can be caused by trying to vaginally deliver a baby that is too large and should be delivered by Cesarean section.
