As far as I know, no, because emergency Caesareans are available (I was an emergency Caesarean - my mother was told I was 'small', and I ended up being close to 13lbs[1]), but it can cause other complications - my sister still has a small scar from a forceps birth, and the recovery time was longer for my mother. [1] The entire pre-birth care was flawed - at one point they couldn't find a pulse for over 24 hours and they were telling my mother to induce labour (because I was dead...). Edit: spelling fix
