Objective: To assess the recovery outcomes and health impacts of forceps delivery versus emergency cesarean section in athletic women facing complications during the abnormal second stage of labor. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 100 athletic parturients with abnormal second stages of labor from February 2021 to February 2022. Participants were divided into two groups based on the mode of delivery: 50 underwent forceps delivery (observational group) and 50 underwent emergency cesarean sections (control group). The study aimed to evaluate the comparative clinical effectiveness of these interventions. Results: The observational group exhibited a shorter duration from decision to delivery, including quicker resolution of the second labor stage and faster fetal head delivery. Notably, this group also experienced reduced intrapartum and postpartum bleeding, and improved prognostic outcomes for both mother and newborn, compared to the control group. Specifically, neonatal Apgar scores at 1 and 5 minutes were significantly better in the observational group. Furthermore, these athletes reported higher satisfaction with the forceps delivery method, highlighting its potential benefits in terms of quicker physical recovery and return to training regimes. Conclusion: Forceps delivery may offer significant advantages for athletic women during the abnormal second stage of labor, ensuring safety for both mother and child, better prognostic outcomes, and facilitating a faster return to athletic activities. This method merits further research and consideration in sports medicine and obstetric care protocols.
