Variations & Complications of Pregnancy & Childbirth

Sometimes childbirth doesn't go smoothly. In the medical mode of healthcare, when childbirth doesn't go smoothly, the woman is labelled as having a "birth complication(s)".

Every birth is different however, and just as there are normal variations in height, size, weight, eye colour etc in humans, there are also normal variations in childbirth.

True birth complications are truly rare variations that do not resolve themselves during the birthing process - such as complete placenta previa.
