According to current medical technology, the chance of dying in obstructed labor is generally low, with only a one in 10,000 chance.
Difficult labor can be caused by both maternal and fetal factors.
1. Maternal level
(1) Insufficient force of labor: the force of labor is mainly the contractile ability of the uterus, which is very important in the process of fetal delivery, if the uterine contractile force is insufficient, the delivery cannot be successful.
(2) Abnormal birth canal: If the pelvis is small or structurally abnormal, the fetus can not enter the pelvis, then it will cause difficult labor.
(3) Psychosocial factors: especially for mothers of the first child, psychological tension or pressure from the family can also cause obstructed labor.
(2) Fetal level: If the fetus is too big or has deformities, it cannot be delivered smoothly.
Nowadays, with advanced medical technology, cesarean section is usually chosen to avoid unnecessary injuries in case of obstructed labor, so the possibility of death due to obstructed labor is not high.
If you experience any discomfort during pregnancy, you should consult a doctor and follow the doctor’s instructions for proper treatment.
