Delivery complications refer to issues that can arise during childbirth, affecting the health of the mother or baby. These complications can include problems such as prolonged labor, fetal distress, or umbilical cord issues. They may require medical interventions like cesarean sections or the use of forceps to ensure a safe delivery. Common causes of delivery complications include maternal health conditions, such as gestational diabetes or high blood pressure, as well as factors like multiple pregnancies or premature labor. Healthcare providers monitor these situations closely to manage risks and provide appropriate care for both the mother and the newborn.
