Question
Answer
Physiologic primary force of labor is   uterine muscular contractions.  
🗑
Physiologic secondary force of labor is   use of abdominal muscles to push during second stage of labor.  
🗑
When pushing...Dont to soon can risk   ripping of cervix (if not complete), more swelling, and exhaustion!  
🗑
Progesterone causes   relaxation of smooth muscle tissue  
🗑
Estrogen causes   stimulation of uterine muscle contradiction.  
🗑
connective tissue loosens   and permits softening, thinning, opening of cervix  
🗑
Psychosocial considerations for a woman giving birth   Understanding and preparing for childbirth experience, Amount of support from others, present emotional status, Beliefs and values.  
🗑
Physical things to look at from stress of labor (Mom)   Respiratory Alkalosis from hyperventillating  
🗑
Physical things to look at from stress of labor (baby)   acidotic less than plt 7.25.  
🗑
The more times you check mom   more risk of infection  
🗑
Thinning of Cervix is called   Effacement  
🗑
Effacement   Muscles of upper uterine segment shorten and cause cervix to thin and flatten. Fetal body straightened as uterus elongates with each contraction.  
🗑
If cervix is thick, long and hard   not going to deliver.  
🗑
Contraction   Pressure of fetal head causes cervical dilation and thin out cervix, rectum and vagina are drawn upward and forward with each contraction, During second stage, anus everts  
🗑
lightening   Fetus descends into pelvic inlet  
🗑
Braxton hicks contractions   Irregular, intermittent contractions that occur during pregnancy, cause more discomfort closer to onset of labor.  
🗑
cervical changes   cervix begins to soften and weaken (ripening)  
🗑
Bloody show   loss of cervical mucous plug, cause blood-tinged discharge (never dismiss it! look at volume and circumstance surrounding)  
🗑
Check for rupture   nitrozene paper - turns blue (amnionic fluid), Best test Speculum test, Fern test, Diffinative slide test shows ferning under microscope  
🗑
nesting   Sudden burst of energy, usually occurs 24-48 hours before onset of labor.  
🗑
Rupture of membranes   If rupture prior to onset of labor, good chance labor will begin within 24 hours. ( risk of infection or preterm labor and or/ delivery)  
🗑
Premonitory signs of labor   loss of 1 to 3 pounds, Diarrhea, indigestion, nausea, vomiting may occur prior to onset of labor.  
🗑
True labor characterized by   Contractions at regular intervals- increase in duration and intensity  
🗑
Cardinal Movements in Delivery   Decent, flexion, Internal Rotation, Extension, Restitution, Expulsion  
🗑
Decent   The head enters the pelvic inlet in the occiput, transverse or oblique position because the inlet is widest from side to side.  
🗑
In Decent...present in 3 ways   Occiput, transverse, oblique  
🗑
Four forces affecting decent   1, pressure of amniotic fluid, 2, direct pressure of the uterine fundus on the breech, 3, contraction of abdominal muscles, 4, extennsion and strengthening of the fetal body.  
🗑
Flexion   fetal chin flexes downward onto the chest  
🗑
Internal Rotation   Head rotates inside the pelvic cavity from left to right.  
🗑
Extension   The occiput, then brow and face emerge from the vagina  
🗑
Restitution   Shoulders enter pelvic inlet obliquely and remain oblique when the head rotates to the anteroposterior diameter thru internal rotation.  
🗑
restitution   turning the head to one side, and aligns with position of the back in the birth canal.  
🗑
Expulsion   The anterior shoulder quickly born before the posterior and the body quickly follows engagement.  
🗑
Engagement   Presenting part occurs when largest diameter of presenting part reaches or passes thru pelvic inlet.  
🗑
Engagement   can be determined by a sterile vaginal exam (to see if baby is blottable)  
🗑
Engagement   Confirms adequacy of pelvic inlet (does not indicate whether the mid pelvis and outlet are adequate)  
🗑
Engagement   Usually occurs a couple weeks before term.  
🗑
Once head is engaged   there is a less chance of cord prolapse.  
🗑
station   relationship of presenting part to an imaginary line drawn between the ischial spines of the maternal pelvis, the ischial spines are 0 station, if presenting part is higher -, if below + number.  
🗑
fetal postiion   Refers to the relationship of a designated landmark on the presenting fetal part to the front, sides or back of the maternal pelvis.  
🗑
Lightening   moving of the fetus and uterus downward into the pelvic cavity  
🗑
hyperventalation   numbness tingling in fingers or lips give paper bag to breathing. Imbalance o2 and co2...too much 02, shallow breaths, slow breathing, count out loud.. need more co2 in  
🗑
Pushing   Woman uses intra-abdominal pressure, Perineum begins to bulge, flatten and move anteriorally, bloody show may increase, labia begin to part with each contraction.  
🗑
Crowning   fetal head is encircled by the external opening of the vagina, birth is imminent  
🗑
Frequency (Contraction)   The time between the beginning of one contraction to the beginning of the next contraction  
🗑
Duration (Contraction)   The beginning of a contraction to the completion of that same contraction.  
🗑
if cervix is not completely dilated (10cm), bearing down (pushing) can cause   cervical edema, possible tearing and bruising of the cervix and maternal exhaustion  
🗑
Intensity (contraction)   Refers to the strength of the contraction during acme.  
🗑
Acme   Peak of contraction  
🗑
Intensity can be estimated   by palpating the uterine fundus during a contraction.by judging the amount of indentablility of the uterine wall during acme of a contraction.  
🗑
intensity can be measured   by an intrauterine catherter.  
🗑
Fetal response to labor   heart rate may decrease as head pushes against cervix  
🗑
Fetal response to labor   Decrease in pH due to decreased blood flow at peak of each contraction  
🗑
Fetal response to labor   Further decrease of ph occurs during pushing due to woman holding her breathe.  
🗑
Fetal postition   Refers to the relationship of a designed landmark on the presenting fetal part to the front, sides or back of the maternal pelvis.  
🗑
1st postition   right or left of the maternal pelvis  
🗑
2nd position   Fetal presenting part: Occiput (O), mentum(M) which is the face, and sacrum (S), acromion process (A)  
🗑
3rd position   Anterior (A), posterior (P) or transverse (T) (front, back or side of the pelvis)  
🗑
Most common position.. safe for delivery   LOA, ROA  
🗑
If baby position is posterior   really hard to get out (c-section)  
🗑
Fetal lie   Relationship of spine of baby...want longitudinal lie (up & down) or transverse lie (side ways)...move baby or c-section.  
🗑
effacement   thinning of the cervix based on a subjective percentage determined with a sterile vag exam. 100% fully effaced.  
🗑
First Stage   Begins with onset of true labor and ends when the cervix is dialated to 10cm,  
🗑
