Management of Complications During Labour

The act or process of giving birth is called "birthing." Every woman may have a different experience with labour or giving birth. Some first signs of labour are strong, regular contractions, back pain, and water (amniotic fluid) or a sticky, mucous-like substance from the vagina.

If this is your first pregnancy, you might be in labour for about 12 hours on average. Here are some of the most common risks and problems that can happen during birth:

• Preterm Labour
• Abnormal Presentation
• Prolonged labour
• Premature Rupture of Membranes
• Umbilical Cord Compression
• Umbilical Cord Prolapse
• Amniotic Fluid Embolism

Dr. Arati Kotpal from Kotpal Hospital explains that the most common complications during labour are fetal distress, prolonged labour, and abnormal fetal presentation. These complications are managed through close monitoring of the baby's heart rate, intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration, and in some cases, assisted delivery through the use of forceps or vacuum.

According to Dr. Arati Kotpal from Kotpal Hospital, postpartum haemorrhage is a serious complication that can occur during labour. It is managed through early recognition of the condition, immediate administration of medications to help stop the bleeding, and in severe cases, surgical intervention.

Dr. Arati Kotpal from Kotpal Hospital advises that there are several warning signs that indicate a need for emergency intervention during labour. These include severe vaginal bleeding, sudden and severe abdominal pain, prolonged or excessive contractions, and signs of fetal distress such as a rapid or slow heartbeat. If any of these symptoms are experienced, it is important to seek immediate medical attention.

Pregnancy Concerns

Management of High BP and Diabetes in Pregnancy

Long-term high blood glucose levels may be harmful to the body and lead to organ or tissue failure. High blood sugar levels during pregnancy might potentially create complications for the developing fetus and for the newborn.

Preeclampsia is when your blood pressure rises above what is considered normal more than once. Dr. Arati Kotpal at Kotpal Maternity Hospital will talk to you about whether or not you need more tests to ensure you and your baby are healthy.

At every prenatal appointment, she will check your blood pressure and urine, among other things, to look for signs of preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a disease that affects more than one organ that only happens during pregnancy. It affects about 8% of pregnancies. High blood pressure and the presence of protein in the urine, with or without puffiness, are indicators of the condition.
