what stage of labor is the
longest?
first stage
2. what are the benefits of laying
on your side and being upright
during labor?
allows for more oxygen to the uterus, less likely to need
surgical birth, less chance of inferior vena cava suppression
3. in latent stage how often do
you have contractions and
how long do they last?
you have contractions every 5- 10 mins and they last 30-40
secs
4. in the active phase of labor ,
how often do you have contractions
and how long do they
last?
you have contractions every 2-5 mins they last 45- 60 secs
5. in the second stage of labor,
how often are you having contractions
and how long do they
last?
2-3 mins, they last 60-90 seconds
6. how do you know the baby
head has crowned
When the baby head no longer regresses
7. what are two things that can
,result from delayed pushing?
increased risk of maternal hemorrhage, increased neonatal
morbidity
8. why is open glottis pushing
advised?
the breathing out while pushing reduces pressure on both
baby and mother
9. what are the benefits of laboring
down?
the benefits of laboring down is it makes pushing shorter and
allows baby to move down on its on which reserves energy

how long does the third stage
take?
11. what happens to white blood
cell count during labor?
it goes from 4-11,000 to 20-30,000
12. what is the effect of labor on
heart rate and cardiac output?
heart rate increases and cardiac output increases by 30 - 40
percent
13. fetal response to labor by system:
heart rate. circulation,
oxygenation
, heart rate has periods of acceleration, and periods of slight
decelerations. circulations: decrease in circulation and perfusion
oxygenation: drops in oxygenation during contractions
14. at what station can patient begin
pushing?
when baby is at least at +2
15. when should epidural be administered?
during the active phase of the first stage of labor when patient
is dilated at least 4 cms ALTHOUGH ACTIVE
16. WHICH MED IS USED DURING
C-SECTION? AND WHAT TYPE
OF MAIN MED IS IT?
spinal block, reginal
17. when is general anesthesia
used?
during emergencies like c- sections
18. what is the cascade of events
that influence contractions
1. uterine stretch 2. progesterone withdrawal 3. increase in
oxytocin 4.release of prostaglandins
19. what part does prostaglandins
play in labor
1. increased contractions 2. cervical softening 3. increased
gap junction induction
20. Braxton hicks
