Abstract
Obstetricians assume a dual role in the provision of health care for both mother and fetus during labor. Not only do they function as consultants for medical and surgical problems peculiar to labor, but they also assume a more broad-based role in the prevention of labor complications to achieve the best possible health maintenance for both patients. This includes the provision of continuous health care throughout pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum management. A summary of the common problems of management of labor and labor complications is provided, including fetal monitoring during labor, augmentation of labor, vaginal delivery after cesarean section, epidural analgesia and its effects on delivery, and fecal incontinence after delivery.
