Completion requirements
Prenatal development is the process through which a baby grows and develops inside the mother’s womb from conception until birth. This period is very important because it lays the foundation for the baby’s physical and psychological health. The prenatal period lasts about nine months, or approximately 270 to 280 days. It is divided into three main stages: Germinal, embryonic period and fetal.
6. Birth and delivery complications
Sometimes, complications may occur during birth and may require medical attention.
• Breech position: The baby is positioned with the feet or buttocks first instead of the head. This abnormal position often requires a cesarean section to safely deliver the baby.
• Prolonged labor: Labor that takes too long can be dangerous for both the mother and the baby. In such cases, medical interventions like inducing labor or performing a cesarean section may be necessary.
• Umbilical cord problems: The umbilical cord may wrap around the baby’s neck or become compressed, which can reduce the baby’s oxygen supply. This situation can be life-threatening and may lead to an emergency delivery.
• Excessive bleeding: The mother may experience significant blood loss, especially during the delivery of the placenta. This condition requires immediate medical attention to prevent further complications.
