2. Elevated blood sugar (diabetes).
3. Excessive weight gain of mother
or fetus.
4. Blood compatibility abnormalities.
During labor and delivery, obstetricians

death to the mother or fetus by failing to monitor,
test and treat the following problems:
- Fetal heart rate abnormalities
that indicate lack of oxygen to the fetal brain,
or the umbilical cord tightly wrapped around
the fetal neck.
- Persistent fetal heart rate
abnormalities that require an emergency cesarean
section delivery.

the fetus to come to delivery.
