Vacuum extraction help!

[kylamclellan]

I recently gave birth (june 4) and my baby had to be vacuum extracted out. She still has a huge bump on her head.. How long will it take to go away? It's not any smaller since birth (but also not getting bigger)... It's a fairly large bump! Anyone else experience this?

hahah no it doesnt hurt them :p
i sometimes forget she has it and when I am holding her head I can feel her lil bump >.<

I just feel bad it looks like it hurts! The dr assured me it will go away I just hope sooner than later lol

My step son had to be vacuumed out. He is 4 now and you can still feel the bump. Not as big ( since his head has grown) and not noticeable be cause of his hair.. I'm not sure if its like that for every kid though..
