Several complications can arise during delivery, requiring prompt and skilled intervention by nurses and the healthcare team. These include:
Hemorrhage: Excessive bleeding that can occur during or after delivery. Preeclampsia: A condition characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to another organ system. Fetal distress: Indications that the baby is not well, often detected through abnormal heart rate patterns. Shoulder dystocia: When a baby's shoulders get stuck during vaginal delivery. Infections: Such as chorioamnionitis, which can affect both mother and baby.
