What is a complication during birth which occurs when the umbilical cord does not supply sufficient oxygen to the baby
1 answer
The complication you are referring to is called umbilical cord compression or umbilical cord prolapse. When the cord is compressed or prolapses during birth, it can restrict or cut off the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the baby, leading to a condition called fetal distress or hypoxia. This can be a serious medical emergency that requires immediate intervention to ensure the baby receives sufficient oxygen.
