Abnormal LaborLabor is expected to progress in an
orderly and predictable manner. Careful observation of the mother and fetus during labor will allow
early detection of abnormalities so that management can be directed to
optimize outcome.APGO Medical Student Educational Objectives 8th Ed. 2004

Gynecoid PelvisGynecoid Pelvis• Round at the inlet, with the widest
transverse diameter only slightly greater than the anteroposterior diameter
• Side walls straight• Ischial spines of average prominence• Well-rounded sacrosciatic notch• Well-curved sacrum• Spacious subpubic arch, with an angle
of approximately 90 degrees
![Page 48: Intrapartum Care and Abnormal Labor](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102722/554af670b4c905fc0e8b4966/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Android PelvisAndroid Pelvis• Triangular inlet with a flat
posterior segment and the widest transverse diameter closer to the sacrum than in the gynecoid type
• Convergent side walls with prominent spines
• Shallow sacral curve• Long and narrow sacrosciatic notch• Narrow subpubic arch
![Page 49: Intrapartum Care and Abnormal Labor](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102722/554af670b4c905fc0e8b4966/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Anthropoid PelvisAnthropoid Pelvis• A much larger AP than transverse
diameter, creating a long narrow oval at the inlet
• Side walls that do not converge• Ischial spines that are not prominent but
are close, owing to the overall shape• Variable, but usually posterior,
inclination of the sacrum• Large sacrosciatic notch• Narrow, outwardly shaped subpubic arch

PassengerPassenger• Head is typically the largest
structure
• Molding
• Smallest diameter of head:– suboccipitobregmatic
• Abnormal lie or size or presentation can cause problems
![Page 65: Intrapartum Care and Abnormal Labor](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102722/554af670b4c905fc0e8b4966/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Passenger: Fetal Head Passenger: Fetal Head ConsiderationsConsiderations
• Bones in face fused but cranial vault has movable bones
• Molding is when bones overlap under pressure
• Sutures are membranous spaces between bones
• Fontanelles or “soft spots” are the intersections between sutures

Labor DefinitionLabor Definition
The physiologic process by which the gravid uterus evacuates its contents at or near term by a mechanism involving coordinated sequence of periodic contractions of the myometrium effecting progressive cervical dilatation and fetal descent through the birth canal.
