If you mean from the mother's pelvic bones, no a baby cannot be crushed. Hormones in the mother begin to relax ligaments in the pelvis so the pelvis spreads. If you mean by strong contractions, no, this is nature's way of pushing the baby through the birth canal. If a doctor must use forceps, doctors are trained where to place the forceps and it would never "crush" a baby's head. Lastly, the largest part of a baby is the head--once one shoulder and head are delivered, the baby slides out. So, no, babies do not get crushed during childbirth.
