Labor and delivery can be complicated by many factors.  Some complications are unforeseeable.  However, some complications associated with labor and delivery are avoidable and, when injuries arise out of avoidable complications, one or more health care provider may be liable for medical malpractice.

Well known labor and delivery complications include:

• accelerations;
  
• asynclitism;
• breech presentation;
• cesarean section;
• decelerations;
• nuchal cord;
• oligohydramnios;
  
• placenta previa;
  
• placental abruption;
• polyhydramnios;
  
• prolonged second stage;
• shoulder dystocia;
• tachysystole;
  
• vacuum extraction; and
  
• VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section).
