These are signs of congestion and its factors

Childbirth marks the end of the long-awaited pregnancy. After about 40 weeks of pregnancy, the mother finally has the opportunity to meet the long-awaited baby.

Every mother certainly expects a smooth and smooth delivery. However, obstacles can occur while working. When uterine contractions have appeared, signs of labor that are not effective or blocked can also appear, so the baby is never born. This difficult or blocked job is known as dystocia (dystocia).

Dystocia occurs in about 25 to 30% of first births and is one of the reasons for cesarean delivery. Blocked work is also a reason for using childbirth aids, such as forceps and vacuum cleaners.
Signs of labor that are not effective

The following chart shows signs of wanting to give birth that are ineffective or blocked and how long it will take:

Cause of work blocked

During this time, several causes of work are blocked or not developed, including:

The mother is tired or dehydrated
Cylinder head or transverse position
The contractions become weak or irregular so that it is not effective in pushing the baby through the birth canal. One of the things that can affect uterine contractions is a full bladder.
Large babies The size of a large baby's head, for example, in infants with macrosomia, hydrocephalus, hydropsia, or other abnormalities that increase the size of the baby's body, can prevent the development of work because of difficulties to pass through the uterine canal. This condition is known as head-to-shoulder disproportion.
Shoulder dystocia. Shoulder dystocia is a condition where the baby's head comes out of the uterus but where the shoulder is stuck in it. Shoulder dystocia often cannot be predicted or prevented. Shoulder dystocia can cause bleeding and rupture of the birth canal for the mother. Babies can suffer nerve damage and lack of oxygen in the brain.
Birth canal or small pelvic cavity. About 1 in 5 women have a narrower Android pelvic cavity. This type of pelvis often places the baby in a posterior position, the baby's back directed towards the back or back of the mother. This often prevents the baby from passing through the uterus.
Delivery of twins
Mother's psychological factors, such as worry, stress or fear. Stress can interfere with the release of hormones that play a role in work.
The use of epidural analgesics which slows uterine contractions
