Baby suffers horror head injuries after medics used a suction cup and forceps during birth
Mother Jessica Henderson said it felt like staff were "ripping the baby out of me" during 27-hour labour
A BABY was left with these horrific head injuries after staff used a suction cup and forceps during his birth.
Kayden Carr's mum Jessica Henderson was in labour for 27 hours at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee before he was born.
She said medical staff began using a suction cup because she wasn't having contractions and that her child now has a permanent scar.
"It felt like they were ripping it out of me, it was so bad," Miss Henderson told .
"The epidural was only working on one side so I was able to feel everything she was doing.
"There was blood everywhere."
After Kayden arrived, Miss Henderson became worried that her son was not crying and hours later they discovered scarring when removing his hat.
Describing the injury as like a "Big red doughnut", Miss Henderson believes it was caused by the suction cup rubbing and twisting.
