Maternal care for high head at term - what does this mean
Maternal care for high head at term occurs when the head of the baby is too high in the mother's pelvis during labor, making it difficult for the baby to fit through the birth canal. this can cause the labor to slow down or stop completely, leading to a prolonged labor and potentially dangerous complications for the baby.
What happens during the disease - maternal care for high head at term
Maternal care for high head at term is a condition that occurs when the baby's head is higher than the mother's pelvis during labor. this can cause the baby to become stuck in the birth canal and can lead to prolonged labor, fetal distress, and other complications. it is thought to be caused by inadequate engagement of the fetal head in the pelvis, either due to the baby's size or the mother's pelvic shape. in some cases, the baby's head is too large for the mother's pelvis, or the mother's pelvis is too small or not adequately shaped to allow the baby's head to pass through.
