O66.1: Obstructed labour due to locked twins
Problems occurred during the birth because your twins got stuck.
If twins get stuck, each of them may block the birth of the other. The birth of the twins can then take longer than usual. It may also be the case that the child cannot then be born in the usual way, but that a Caesarean is required.
