Obstructed labour due to breech presentation - what does this mean
Obstructed labour due to breech presentation occurs when a baby is in the breech position (buttocks or feet first), and the baby's head is unable to pass through the mother's pelvis during labour. this can lead to labour being prolonged and difficult, and can result in a caesarean section being necessary to deliver the baby.
What happens during the disease - obstructed labour due to breech presentation
Obstructed labour due to breech presentation occurs when a baby is in the breech position, with its buttocks or feet entering the birth canal first, rather than the head. this can cause the baby to become stuck in the birth canal, leading to an obstructed labour. the obstruction can be caused by the baby's body being too large for the birth canal, or the baby's position preventing the head from entering the birth canal. this can lead to prolonged labour, delivery complications, and potential fetal distress.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical examination to check for signs of obstructed labour
- Ultrasound scan to confirm the baby's position
- Assessment of the mother's pelvic size to determine if the baby is likely to pass through the birth canal
- Assessment of the baby's size to determine if the baby is likely to pass through the birth canal
- Monitoring of the mother's vital signs to assess the baby's health
- Monitoring of the baby's heart rate to assess the baby's health
- Discussion of the risks and benefits of a caesarean section
- Discussion of the risks and benefits of manual rotation of the baby
- Discussion of the risks and benefits of an assisted vaginal delivery
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the risk of the mother and baby's health and facilitate successful delivery of the baby.
- Administer oxytocin to induce labour
- Use ultrasound to monitor the baby's heart rate and contractions
- Attempt an external cephalic version (ECV) to turn the baby to a head-down position
- Perform an episiotomy to enlarge the vaginal opening
- Perform a caesarean section if other methods are unsuccessful
6 Days of Hospitalization Required

Obstructed labour due to breech presentation - Prevention
Prevention of obstructed labour due to breech presentation can be achieved by early identification of breech presentation during antenatal care and delivery planning. this should include ultrasound scans to detect presentation and provide the opportunity for the mother to discuss the best delivery option, such as a caesarean section or external cephalic version. additionally, regular antenatal care with a qualified medical professional is essential in order to monitor fetal growth and wellbeing.
