1 Dilation: 2
epidural induced hypotension?
3 Five P's of Labor: 4 Early Signs of Labor:
Don't know?
,Terms in this set (103)
Dilation: opening of cervix: width of fingers spread apart (0-
10 cm - 10 is closest to delivery)
Effacement: thickness and length of cervix (0-100% - 100% is
closest to dilvery)
Station: Location of babys head (-5 baby's head is high, 0
head is even with pelvic bone, 5 closest to delivery)
What differentiates Braxton hicks no dilation or change in cervix
contractions from labor contractions?
Early Signs of Labor: - Braxton hicks contraction
- Lightening (shooting pain in cervix - baby is
dropping in pelvis)
- Increased vaginal secretions
- Cervical ripening/ mucus plug
- Bloody show (bleeding or spotting that occurs
with dilation)
- Increased energy
What is the first stage of labor? Dilation (0-10 cm)
- separated into 2 phases
Latent phase of stage 1: Early labor
- Longer for primip than multip
- Increase in frequency, duration, and intensity of
contractions
- Talkative/ excited
, Active phase of stage 1: Active labor
- Intense contraction every 2-5 minutes
- Anxious/ inward focus
- Pain meds
- Begins to change in cervix (should change a cm in
2 hours - after 6 is typically a cm an hour)
What is the second stage of labor? Second stage: pushing stage (dilation is completed,
beginning to push to fetus delivery)
- 1-3 hours for primip less for multip
- Feels more in control
- "Ring of fire"
What is the third stage of labor? Placenta delivery
- No difference between primip and multip
- Within 30-45 minutes of delivery
- Manual removal or D&C if unable to be removed
(D&C surgical removal in OR using ultrasound)
What is the fourth stage of labor? Recovery
- No difference between primip and multip
- 1-4 hours after delivery
- Watch closely for hemorrhage (check fundus)
What stages of labor are longer for 1st stage (latent phase) and 2nd stage
primips than multips?
Five P's of Labor: - Power: uterine contraction strength and pushing
ability
- Passage: anatomy of pelvis
- Passenger: fetal head, lie, attitude, and
presentation
- Position (of mother)
- Psyche (relaxation can increase speed of labor)
