What is it? Abnormal labour, right?

It’s less scary than it sounds, trust me.

Abnormal labour is just another way of saying deviation from the expected pattern of labour.

These deviations usually come in the 4 Ps i.e Power, which means the strength and frequency of contractions

Position of the baby

Pelvis size and shape

And the Psyche of the mother

Deviations in these Ps can lead to complications like anaemia, placenta previa, and preeclampsia.

Placenta previa is a condition during pregnancy where the placenta attaches low in the uterus leading to complications like bleeding, especially during labor, and usually requires a cesarean section.

Preeclampsia is a serious pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and signs of liver or kidney damage.

It sounds scarier than it is.

All these complications can be managed through a C-section to ensure a safe delivery.

Okay?

Now don’t overthink about it. And definitely don’t over google it.

Abnormal labour is not that abnormal.
