Precipitate labour

Description

A condition affecting pregnant females that is idiopathic. This condition is characterised by rapid labour and the lack of time for standard obstetric preparations or procedures leading to the delivery of the newborn. This condition leads to vaginal bleeding, frequent strong contractions, feelings of defecation, crowning of the fetus head at the vaginal introitus, or bulging of the amniotic sac.
