Obstructed labour due to compound presentation - what does this mean
Obstructed labour due to compound presentation occurs when the baby is in a position that makes it difficult for it to pass through the birth canal, such as when the baby is in a breech position or is in a transverse lie. this can cause the baby to become stuck in the birth canal and can lead to serious complications for both mother and baby if not managed properly.
What happens during the disease - obstructed labour due to compound presentation
Obstructed labour due to compound presentation is a condition that occurs when a baby is in a position that prevents it from passing through the birth canal. this can be caused by a variety of factors, including a baby that is too large for the birth canal, a baby that is in a breech position, or a placenta that is blocking the birth canal. in some cases, the baby's head may be pressing against the mother's pelvic bones, which can cause the baby to become stuck. in addition, the contractions of the uterus may be too strong, which can cause the baby to become stuck in the birth canal.
