These notes cover the SECOND chapter of the course, including the lecture, readings, and essential discussions. Whether you missed a class, need to review for exams, or want a concise summary of complex topics, these notes are your go-to resource. I personally sat through every lecture and reviewed every powerpoint ensuring nothing important was missed. They are ideal for students who want to save time and improve their understanding of the material without the stress of creating their own study resources from scratch. With these notes, you'll be better prepared for exams, quizzes, and assignments, giving you a competitive edge in your Psychology 255 course. Perfect for: Students who missed classes or need to catch up, those looking to reinforce their understanding of complex - psychological concepts, anyone preparing for exams and needing a reliable study guide, and students who prefer well-organized and visually supported study materials. ***PLEASE NOTE: As a college student, I want to share that I’m not a professional note-taker, but these notes reflect the methods that have helped me maintain a 3.5-4.0 GPA throughout my college journey. Please note that there may be some spelling or grammatical errors, abbreviations, and personal stylistic choices within these notes—they are, after all, class notes, not a polished thesis. Thank you for your purchase, and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

considerations

stages of birth
first stage: dilation and effacement of cervix
•late first stage (transition stage) - cervix is fully dilated and

second stage: actual birth of the infant
third stage: afterbirth the placenta, umbilical cord, and other
membranes are detached and expelled

medications and childbirth:
analgesic: used to relieve pain (narcotic or non narcotic)
anesthetic: used in late first stage labor and during expulsion to
block sensation

oxytocin: produced naturally be p gland
pitocin: synthetic hormone stimulates contractions

prepared childbirth: includes breathing techniques to control
pushing in the final stages of labor
•more detailed education about anatomy and physiology also
known as lamaze method
natural childbirth: method in which no drugs are given to relieve
pain or assist in the birth process

breech or cesarean delivery:
breech position: butt coming out before head
•can prevent the baby from breathing normally
cesarean delivery: the baby is removed from the mother's uterus
through an incision made in her abdomen
