The opening pains are then often hardly painful or follow at long intervals so that they are not noticed. Suddenly the woman is surprised by painful contractions. In a rushed birth, the child is often born in bed or in an ambulance. A rushed birth is mainly observed in multiparous women with sudden, severe contractions and particularly flexible connective tissue, but also in primiparous women who have misinterpreted the contractions.

Fall birth refers to the child falling out of the birth canal, for example into a toilet or onto the floor. A fall birth can also occur if the birth is not rushed. There is a risk of injury to the newborn, and an umbilical cord rupture is also possible.
