Passenger
The passengers are the foetus, placenta and membranes.
Labour can be obstructed if the foetus is too large for the mother's pelvis.
A large foetus may be healthy or it may be pathologically large.
Malposition or malpresentation of a normal foetus may result in dystocia when pelvis and foetus would normally be considered compatible.
