the cervix.

Normal labour takes place at term. -a single fetus -presents by the vertex and -the delivery, followed by that of the
placenta and membranes, -is accomplished with in 4-24 hours, -with out artificial aid and without complication.

Possible causes for the onset of labour include:
-fetal pressure on the uterine wall-increasing tension on the uterine wall-changes in hormonal balance (fetal
adrenal cortex)

Signs of labour for a pregnant woman
-regular contractions increasing in strength, duration and frequency.
-show (bloody mucus plug around cervix)
-rupture of the membranes (amniotic fluid escapes)

Terms used during labour:-contractions: shortening of the uterine muscle fibres. -during labour increase in strength duration and frequency
-strength: increase in intensity -duration: from the beginning of a contraction to the end of that contraction. -frequency: from the beginning of one contraction to the beginning of the next.

The cervix during labour
![Page 15: Labour “in labour” …..when uterine contractions reach sufficient strength, duration and frequency to cause effacement and dilatation of the cervix](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a535fd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The cervix during labour:-effacement: or taking up of the cervix.-the cervix becomes part of the lower
uterine segment and flat
-dilatation of the cervix-the external os of the cervix increases in
diameter to full dilatation =10 cms.

The mechanisms of labour
Briefly outline the “mechanisms” of labour
( note only a general understanding is needed)
-a series of passive movements of the fetus in its passage through the birth canal.

Stages of Labour
Stage one: from the onset of regular contractions to full dilatation of the cervix
Stage two: from full dilatation of the cervix to the birth of the baby
![Page 33: Labour “in labour” …..when uterine contractions reach sufficient strength, duration and frequency to cause effacement and dilatation of the cervix](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a535fd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Stage three: from the birth of the baby to the delivery of the placenta.
Stage four: from the delivery of the placenta and membranes to 1-4 hours after the baby’s birth
![Page 34: Labour “in labour” …..when uterine contractions reach sufficient strength, duration and frequency to cause effacement and dilatation of the cervix](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a535fd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
-average durationFirst stage -primigravida = 10-12 hours -multigravida = 1-2 hoursSecond stage -primgravida =1-2 hours -multi gravida =½ hour Third stage: -average duration ½ hour (with ecbolic drugs = 5
minutes)

Factors which may influence a woman’s experience of labour include:
-previous experiences-tiredness-dehydration-position of the baby-environment-support people-
![Page 36: Labour “in labour” …..when uterine contractions reach sufficient strength, duration and frequency to cause effacement and dilatation of the cervix](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a535fd/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Nursing actions during labour to observe and record the maternal and fetal physical condition
-blood pressure -pulse -temperature
- urine output amount and urinalysis-vaginal loss (blood, mucus, amniotic fluid-contractions-pain-general wellbeing

Nursing actions for fetal assessment
-fetal heart rate-amniotic fluid (colour)-
![Page 40: Labour “in labour” …..when uterine contractions reach sufficient strength, duration and frequency to cause effacement and dilatation of the cervix](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a535fd/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Nursing actions to assist a woman’s pain management during labour.
-distraction techniques-breathing techniques-music -counting-conversation-massage---
![Page 41: Labour “in labour” …..when uterine contractions reach sufficient strength, duration and frequency to cause effacement and dilatation of the cervix](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a535fd/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Nursing actions:-assist with hygiene needs, bath , back
rubs, change the bed linen, cold flannels to forehead, heat packs……….
-remind re elimination needs-support her support person-stay with her-give feedback re the progress of her

Discuss:
What factors might influence a woman’s choice about where she would like to have her baby?
For example home versus hospital
