Abstract
Precipitous labor is certainly not a novel statement in the field of medicine. It has been reported in various regions over the years with a prevalence of about 1-3% in the United States. A study revealed that the prevalence of precipitous labor in Australia is 14%, which is relatively higher than that of the US. This gives a general idea that the incidence of precipitous labor varies according to different regions. This research paper examines the prevalence, risk factors and complications associated with precipitous labor. We analyzed the issues surrounding precipitous labor, relying on various qualitative and quantitative studies to communicate vivid understanding of this topic. Our conclusions are drawn by considering all factors surrounding precipitous labor and comparing the associated complications with those seen in regular labor as a means of knowing if it is meant to be encouraged or discouraged.
