Parto de emergencia
Cuando el parto es inminente y no se encuentra presente un profesional de la salud, lo más indicado son las medidas de emergencia. Entre las señales de trabajo de parto tardío están la ruptura del saco amniótico, la dilatación del cuello uterino y la aparición de la cabeza del bebé por la abertura vaginal.
