What exactly constitutes a difficult birth?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

A first-time mother experiencing labor for more than 12 hours, and a second-time mother for more than 6 hours, is considered difficult labor and requires timely symptomatic treatment. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet, eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, drink more water, avoid spicy foods, get adequate rest, keep emotions stable, supplement with multiple vitamins to enhance immunity, and recover early.
