Obstructed labour due to unusually large fetus - what does this mean
Obstructed labour due to unusually large fetus occurs when the size of the fetus is too large to fit through the mother's birth canal, resulting in the inability of the baby to pass through the mother's pelvis. this can lead to a prolonged labour and can be very dangerous for both the mother and the baby.
What happens during the disease - obstructed labour due to unusually large fetus
Obstructed labour is caused by a disproportion between the size of the mother’s pelvis and the size of the fetus. if the fetus is unusually large, it may be too large to fit through the mother’s birth canal, leading to obstructed labour. this can lead to a range of maternal and fetal complications, including uterine rupture, fetal distress, and even death.
