The handle includes a grip member and a pump member movably mounted on the grip member. The pump member is configured to be manually moved relative to the grip member by a user between a first position and a second position to generate a vacuum within the vacuum cup when the vacuum cup is disposed on the head of a fetus. The grip member includes a first laterally extending member and a second laterally extending member, which are separated from one another in a longitudinal direction. The user can grip either the first laterally extending member or the second laterally extending member while pushing the pump member toward the grip member to move the pump member from the first position to the second position during use of the vacuum extractor.
