Obstructed labour due to locked twins - what does this mean
Obstructed labour due to locked twins occurs when two twins in the uterus become stuck, with one twin's head blocking the other's passage through the birth canal. this can cause a delay in delivery and can lead to complications for both mother and babies.
What happens during the disease - obstructed labour due to locked twins
Obstructed labour due to locked twins occurs when the two fetuses become stuck in the birth canal, preventing the mother from progressing through the stages of labour. this is usually caused by the fetuses being in an abnormal position, such as both facing the same direction or the arms and legs of one fetus becoming entwined with the other. this can lead to prolonged labour and an increased risk of complications for both mother and babies.

Obstructed labour due to locked twins can be prevented by performing an ultrasound scan early in the pregnancy to detect the presence of twins and to ensure that they are in the correct position for delivery. additionally, providing adequate antenatal care and monitoring the mother's progress throughout the pregnancy can help to identify any potential issues that may arise during labour.
