How will my doctor help the delivery with shoulder dystocia?

Gently turning the baby, sometimes more traction during delivery including potential use of forceps or vacuum extraction; rarely the baby will require a C-section delivery even after labor has progressed. In most cases, shoulder dystocia is expected due to the infant's size and/or the mother's pelvic anatomy. In some cases, it is unexpected and many of these cases require additional interventions during delivery.
