Complicated Labour And Cesarean
Complicated Labour & Cesarean Delivery – Expert Obstetric Care by Dr. Deepika Verma in Indore
When pregnancy reaches full term, labor and delivery are critical phases that require skilled medical supervision. At SEWA Superspeciality Endocrinology & Women Care Centre in Indore, Dr. Deepika Verma, a specialist in high-risk pregnancy and obstetrics, provides expert management of complicated labour and safe cesarean delivery (C-section) when needed.
What is Complicated Labour?
Complicated labour, also known as dystocia, occurs when the natural process of childbirth is prolonged or obstructed, increasing risks for both mother and baby. Prompt identification and intervention are essential to avoid complications.
Common Causes of Complicated Labour
Prolonged labour or failure to progress
Abnormal fetal position (breech, transverse)
Cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD) – baby’s head too large for the birth canal
Multiple pregnancy (twins or more)
Umbilical cord problems (cord prolapse or around the neck)
Placenta previa or placental abruption
Pre-eclampsia or eclampsia
Fetal distress (irregular heartbeat or lack of oxygen)
When is a Cesarean Section Recommended?
A cesarean section (C-section) is a surgical procedure to deliver a baby through incisions in the abdomen and uterus. Dr. Deepika Verma may recommend a C-section if:
Labour becomes too risky for the mother or baby
There’s a history of previous C-sections or uterine surgery
The baby is in breech or transverse position
There are medical conditions like hypertension or diabetes
The placenta is covering the cervix (placenta previa)
There’s fetal distress or loss of amniotic fluid
