Abnormal fetal positions can lead to several complications including: - Prolonged Labor: Non-optimal positions can make labor longer and more difficult. - Birth Injuries: Increased risk of trauma to both the mother and baby. - Cesarean Delivery: Often required if the baby is in a breech, transverse, or oblique position. - Cord Prolapse: The umbilical cord can slip into the birth canal ahead of the baby, cutting off oxygen.
