It is vital therefore that every obstetric provider knows what might go seriously wrong with a pregnancy and delivery – and how to manage such complications. Conditions such as bleeding and thrombosis, trauma, acute infection, airway problems, drug reactions in a pregnant patient are among the scariest situations confronting a physician. This is due not only to the intrinsic health interest of the mother and fetus, but also because of the enormous risk of malpractice action.
