This article explains risk childbirth in humans; for aspects of childbirth in the animal kingdom see Viviparie .

A high-risk birth is understood to mean any birth that is accompanied by symptoms that indicate an increased risk for the child and / or the mother. Birth after a high-risk pregnancy must always be classified as a risk.

But even after an unproblematic pregnancy, risks can arise during delivery :

• Premature rupture of the bladder
• amniotic fluid containing mekonium d. H. Amniotic fluid with excretions from the unborn child
• abnormal heart rate patterns
• Increase in blood pressure in the parturient
• laborious labor over 16 hours
• Labor anomalies u. v. m.

Together with a midwife , a doctor must also be present in the event of a high-risk birth, and two other doctors should be on standby for a caesarean section that may suddenly become necessary .
