Obstructed labour due to face presentation - what does this mean
Obstructed labour due to face presentation occurs when the baby's head is facing downwards towards the mother's pelvis instead of the usual occiput anterior position, making it difficult for the baby to pass through the birth canal. this can result in prolonged labour and can even require a caesarean section in order to safely deliver the baby.
What happens during the disease - obstructed labour due to face presentation
Obstructed labour due to face presentation is a complication of pregnancy in which the baby is not able to pass through the mother's birth canal because its head is positioned in a way that does not allow it to fit. this is usually caused by an abnormal fetal position, in which the baby's head is positioned in the front of the mother's pelvis, instead of the back, making it difficult for the baby to pass through the mother's birth canal. this can lead to prolonged labour, increased risk of infection and other complications.
