Most complications occurring during the labor and delivery period of birthing mothers can be avoided, especially if there is regular consultation between doctors and nursing professionals like midwives. The consultations are referred to as the antenatal care clinic.

However, a nursing professional says most women do not realise that they are pregnant, until much later in their term, which poses higher risk during pregnancy, labor and delivery.
