Aan extreme fear of hospitals and doctors
Ba permanent rise in body weight
Cfistulas and other maternal complications
Da lasting shortage of red blood cells
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. fistulas and other maternal complications
1. Obstructed labour means the baby cannot pass smoothly during birth.
2. Prolonged obstruction damages surrounding tissue, which can produce fistulas.
3. The risk rises sharply where untrained traditional birth attendants are involved.
4. Psychological trauma and physical anomaly are further complications associated with early pregnancy.
5. Weight change, phobia and anaemia are separate conditions with their own causes, not consequences of obstructed labour.
