Study Notes
Risk Factors for Birth Trauma
- Prolonged or rapid labor increases the risk of birth trauma
- Being a primigravida (first-time mother) is a risk factor for birth trauma
- Giving birth to a large for gestational age baby (>4500 g) increases the risk of birth trauma
- Vaginal breach delivery is a risk factor for birth trauma
- Instrumental deliveries, such as forceps or vacuum extraction, increase the risk of birth trauma
- Abnormal or excessive traction during delivery can cause birth trauma
- Maternal diabetes is a risk factor for birth trauma
- Maternal-fetal pelvic disproportion, where the baby's head or body is too large for the mother's pelvis, increases the risk of birth trauma
Test your knowledge on risk factors associated with birth trauma such as prolonged or rapid labor, primigravida, large for gestational age babies, vaginal breech delivery, instrumental deliveries, abnormal traction during delivery, maternal diabetes, and maternal-fetal pelvic disproportion.
