Delivery Complications

Revision as of 17:48, 17 June 2014 by Admin (Talk | contribs)

Even if the pregnancy has been low risk, sometimes complications arise during birth.

Cesarean Section

Natural birth may not always be possible. In many cases, this may be apparent before you even go into labor. The most common causes for an elective cesarean are that your baby's head is too large to pass through the birthing canal, the baby is in breech position (feet first), or the baby is lying across your pelvis. Other reasons include placenta previa and certain types of medical conditions.

What Happens
