6. Postpartum hemorrhage may occur due to poor uterine contraction. If postpartum bleeding is uncontrollable, an emergency laparotomy is required. Severe cases require hysterectomy, which can even be life-threatening.
7. Postpartum infection or puerperal fever; especially those with early water rupture and prolonged labor.
8. Rapid labor (labor lasting less than two hours) can occur. Especially multiparous women and patients with cervical laxity.
9. If the fetus is difficult to deliver or the mother is exhausted, forceps or vacuum aspirator must be used. During assisted delivery, swelling of the fetal head may occur.
10. Overweight fetuses can easily cause shoulder dystocia, which can lead to clavicle fractures or brachial plexus damage in newborns.
11. Meconium is produced in the amniotic fluid, causing neonatal meconium aspiration syndrome.
12. An accident occurs to the fetus in the womb; such as the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck, knotted or prolapsed.
13. Amniotic fluid embolism occurs without warning. Even a caesarean section cannot be avoided.
