The position of the fetus and its size in relation to the mothers reproductive organs allow it to emerge in the normal, head first position.
The buttocks of the fetus appears first, followed by the legs, the arms and finally the head. Instruments like forceps are used to aid the delivery
The fetus lies crosswise in the mothers uterus, so that if this portion cannot be changed before the birth process, instruments must be used to aid the delivery
When the fetus is too large to emerge spontaneously or when its position makes normal birth impossible, instruments must be used to aid the delivery
