Assisted delivery may be required in various scenarios, including:
Prolonged labor: When labor is not progressing despite strong contractions. Fetal distress: Abnormal heart rate patterns indicating the baby may not be getting enough oxygen. Maternal exhaustion: When the mother is too tired to continue pushing. Medical conditions: Pre-existing conditions such as heart disease or hypertension that make prolonged labor risky. Malposition: When the baby is in an awkward position like occiput posterior.
