What are the common complications during childbirth?
Childbirth complications can arise due to a variety of factors. Some of the common complications include:
Prolonged labor (lasting more than 20 hours for first-time mothers or 14 hours for women who have given birth before) Breech presentation (when the baby is positioned feet or buttocks first) Umbilical cord prolapse (when the umbilical cord drops through the open cervix into the vagina ahead of the baby) Shoulder dystocia (when one or both of the baby's shoulders get stuck inside the mother's pelvis during labor) Postpartum hemorrhage (excessive bleeding following childbirth)
