Obstructed labour due to shoulder dystocia occurs when the baby's shoulder gets stuck behind the mother's pubic bone during delivery, preventing the baby from being born. this can cause a variety of complications, such as decreased oxygen to the baby, tearing of the mother's uterus or cervix, and even death of the baby or mother. it is a medical emergency and requires immediate medical intervention.
What happens during the disease - obstructed labour due to shoulder dystocia
Obstructed labour due to shoulder dystocia is a condition in which the baby's shoulder becomes stuck behind the mother's pubic bone during delivery. this can occur when the baby is too large to fit through the birth canal, or if the mother's pelvic bones are too small to accommodate the baby's size. the obstruction can cause the baby's head to become stuck in the birth canal, resulting in a prolonged labour and potential fetal distress. additionally, the pressure of the baby's shoulder against the mother's pelvic bone can cause maternal tissue damage and disruption of the uterine lining, leading to increased risk of infection.
