Obstructed labour is caused by an abnormality of the maternal pelvic organs, such as the uterus, cervix, or vagina, which prevents the fetus from passing through the birth canal. this can be due to an abnormally small pelvis, a malformed pelvis, a contracted pelvis, or a pelvic tumor. additionally, the fetus may be too large for the mother's pelvis, or the fetal head may be malpositioned or malpresented. all of these conditions can lead to a blocked labor and a potentially dangerous situation for the mother and baby.
