Fetal failure in labor is an acute condition that threatens the life of both mother and baby. It is one of the three most common causes of death at birth. Pregnant women need periodic antenatal check-ups to detect fetal distress during labor and take timely measures.

There are many warning signs of fetal distress such as meconium in the amniotic fluid, abnormal fetal heart rate, green or yellow amniotic fluid, etc., which endanger the life of the mother and fetus. Let's learn about fetal distress during labor with the article below.

Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the five common obstetric complications, accounting for 2-10% of all births. This is considered a terrifying complication for obstetricians.

Whether a 40-week pregnancy without labor should be treated by cesarean section or not depends on the condition of the fetus, the ability to give birth naturally, and the wishes of the mother and her family. What pregnant women should do when their due date is past is to have regular check-ups to determine the condition. Depending on the test results, the doctor will prescribe a cesarean section or apply a method of inducing labor for normal birth or continue monitoring.
