Introduction
Uterus: pear-shaped muscle made of 3 layers:Endometriuminner lining - shed during menses.Myometrium - muscle layermiddlePerimetrium - outer layer -extra support to whole
structure.
THEORIES of LABOR:Combination of factors start labor:
Oxytocin & prostaglandin - most importantbiochemical factors in stimulating uterinecontractions.
Estrogen uterus response & progesterone it.

Premonitory signs of labor: weeks before real labor
AKA False Labor
Lightening: Fetus settles into pelvic cavity.
Braxton-Hicks: Irregular intermittent contractions; falselabor; DO NOT initiate true labor.
Cervical changes: cervix effaces [thins] & dilates slightly
Baby's head in pelvis pushes against cervix causingrelaxation and effacement.
Burst of Energy: Nesting instinct; cleans house, sets upnursery. epinephrine resulting from progesterone
Cervix in posterior position.

Signs True Labor: closer to time of delivery
Uterine Contractions: regular & frequent compared toBraxton-Hicks. Stronger w. time. Bloody Show: pink tinged secretions d/t softening
cervix.(aka mucous plug) Rupture of Membranes: (ROM) Labor in 24 hrs.
Multiparas sooner. Big gush or slow trickle. Clear/odorless. Green/brown, danger sign Meconium aspiration > distress/infection. Immediate medical attention.
PROM or prolonged ROMintrauterine infection[pathogens reach fetus]

8/67
First Stage
Onset of true labor to complete dilation = 10 cm.
~ 6-18 hrs. primapara; 2-10 hrs. multipara.
Cervix becomes more anterior.
3 phases: Latent, Active, Transitional.
Latent: Dilation 0-3 cms. Contx.s mild/irregular.
Active: 4-7 cms. Contx.s 5-8 min. apart.
Lasts 45-60 sec; moderate - strong intensity.
Transitional: Dilation 8-10 cms. Contx.s 1-2
min. apart; 60 90 sec.; strong intensity.
No pushing til fully dilated.

Second Stage: Birthing of Baby
Delivery of infant:
up to 1 hr. or ~ 20 contxsprimip.
20 min. or ~ 10 contxs in multip. Can last up to 3 hrs.!
Cardinal movements occur here.
Most difficult & uncomfortable part of labor.
Crowning occurs at +4 -+5 station.
Strong urge to push & bear down as infant passes throughvagina & rectummay have BM.
Positions: Sitting, Side Lying, Standing, Squatting, All Fours,Kneeling.

Third Stage
Delivery of placenta ~ 5 - 30 min.Separation should be automatic [uterus contracts & mombears down]
Dont palpate non-contracted uteruspossible eversion.Maternal vessels still open.
MD/MW presses on contracted uterus. CredesManeuver
Pitocin > placenta delivered to avoid retained placenta.
If no spontaneous delivery of placenta, manually removed. Antibiotics

18/67
Mechanism of Labor: passage of fetus thru birth
canal involves position changescalled: CardinalMovements of Labor: mechanical & spontaneous. 2ndstage
Engagement: presenting part enters midpoint of pelvis @ischial spines.
Descent:downward movement thru pelvic inlet,
thru dilated cervix, reaches posterior vaginalfloor. Mom feels like pushing. Widest part [head] passed
thru pelvis. active forces of labor.
Flexion:pressure from pelvic floor causes head to
flex towards chest; chin touches chest.
-

19/67
Internal Rotation: occiput [back of head] in
diagonal position & rotates towards face down
position. / to (occurs as body parts press on bony pelvicstructures)
Extension: top of head delivered & extends as
face & chin are delivered.
External Rotation: head rotates back toprevious lateral position. Rest of body isdelivered.

psyche
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
21/67
Passenger: [infant]Fetal head: widest part of body; most difficult to pass
thru vaginal canal; passage depends on bones, sutures,
fontanelles.
Cranium - 8 bones meet @ suture lines
Cranial bones move & overlap, allows skull to pass thrubirth canal.
Fontanelles: soft spaces created byjunctures of suturelines - covered by membranes; compress during deliveryto aid in passage of fetus.
Molding of infant head.
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
22/67
Passenger cont.
Skull widest @ antero-posterior diameter [frontto back] than @ transverse diameter [across].
Antero-posterior diametermeasures differently@ different locations.
Occipitomental diameter- widest - measured from chin toposterior fontanelle = 13.5 cm
Smallest diameter - lower occiput to anterior fontanelle
(suboccipitobregmatic) = 9.5 cm
Complete flexionallows smallest diameter of fetal
skull to enter pelvis most easily.
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
23/67
B.Fetal Attitude: degree of flexion of fetal
head; chin touches sternum.
Complete flexion: allows smallest diameter of skull
to pass thru pelvic cavity. Best position!
Moderate flexion: head less flexed makingdiameter wider (aka military or neutral)
Poor flexion:brow or face presentation; presents
skull diameter too wide making delivery difficult.

C. Fetal lie: [position of fetus in utero] relationship of longaxis of fetus [spine] to long axis of mother:
1. Longitudinalvertex/breech; vertical inrelation to mom; ~ 99%.
2. Transversehorizontal in relation to mom; < 1 %.
C/S; ^ in grand multipstretched uterine muscles; tryversion.
3. Oblique - diagonal
D. Fetal presentation: part of fetal head enters pelvis;
1. Cephalic 95.5%
2. Breech 3.5%3. Face 0.3%
4. Shoulder 0.4% [transverse lie]
-

E. Fetal position: occiput is landmark
Described in 3 letters:1st: presenting part in relation to mothers R or L.
Middle:presenting part [occiput, mentum, sacrum]
Last:landmark is anterior, posterior, transverse in relation
tomothers spine. Anterior (A) back of head againstsymphysis pubis & face towards spine. Posterior (P) Backof head = mothers spine; painful contxs. Transverse (T)= fetus sideways.
Common positions in vertex presentations: *LOA, ROT,ROP, ROA, LOT, LOP.

27/67
Passageway:Refers to fetus passing thru uterus, cervix, vaginal
canal. Single most important determinant to mechanism
of labor.
A. 4 Types of pelvis: 1. Gynecoid 50% of women; rounded, oval
shape; easy vaginal delivery; considered normalfemale pelvis
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
28/67
2. Android 20 % of women; vaginal delivery difficult;
prob. C/S;true male pelvis
3. Anthropoid oval; assisted vaginal birth usually withforceps; 20-25%
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
29/67
4. Platypelloid < 5 % of women;flattened pelvis; vag. del. difficult

B. Structure of Pelvis: bones held together byligaments. Supports/protects organs inside.
False Pelvis: Outer - broader. Hip bones.
True Pelvis: Internalnarrower. Holds bladder, rectum, &reprod. Organs.
True pelvis - 3 parts - inlet, midpelvis, outlet.
[Most important in childbirth]
If pelvis too small, home birth not done.
CPD - cephalopelvic disproportion > C/S.
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
31/67
PELVIC INLET:
Antero-posterior diameter - front to back ~ 12.5cm. (diagonal conjugate)
True conjugate - actual opening of outlet.
Subtract width of symphysis pubis [1.5 cm] fromdiagonal conjugate. 12.51.5 = 11.0 cm.(complete flexion = 9.5cm diameter)
Transverse diameter [across] ~ 13.5 cm
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
32/67
MIDPELVIS: narrowest part of pelvis that fetusmust pass through - ischial spines
PELVIC OUTLET: Trouble passing through pelvicopening, pelvis too small or poor fetal attitude.
Soft Tissue: Ligaments, Uterus, cervix, vaginalcanal
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
33/67
Powers: Uterine contxs: primary force moving fetus thru
maternal pelvis during 1st stage of labor.
Maternal Efforts: woman adds voluntary pushingforce to force of contx.s during 2nd stage oflabor to propel fetus thru pelvis.
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
34/67
Psyche:Psychologic Response to birth process:
Prepared for childbirth - Childbirth classes-Prenatal care. Previous childbirth experience - Complicated? Support from significant other - Separated? Marital
strain? FOB involved? Abuse?
Emotional status - anxious/depressed, drug use, psychhx Culture - background may influence response to pain.
Some moan, some stoic, some verbally expressive.
Fear/anxiety exacerbate pain uterine dysfunction &
ineffectual labor & posttraumatic stress disorder

Measure by palpation; internally measures ~10 mmHg.
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
39/67
Be Careful Not To.
Rely on verbal clues from mother regardingcontractions & labor progress.
Misleading, giving false impression of good
labor pattern. Contractions may be more or less intense
than what pt. reports.
RN may miss forceful contractions d/texcellent coping skills or high pain tolerance
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
40/67
External Fetal Monitoring
Also Records:Fetal Heart Rate (cardio transducer) FHR
Advantages:Evaluates contractions & FHRProvides written record of both
Disadvantages:May be inaccurate due to maternal/fetalmovements.
Need experienced clinician to read otherwise infocan be misinterpreted.
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
41/67
Internal MonitoringMore Accurate !
Fetal scalp electrode: wire electrode attached to scalp offetus -monitors FHR accurately & continuously.
Advantages: precise assessment of FHR; not affected byfetal movement.
Disadvantages: lacerations of fetal scalp, mom cantambulate.
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
42/67
IUPC -intrauterine pressure catheter inserted intouterine cavity to monitor contx.s
precisely/continuously.
Advantages: precise assessment of maternalcontractions. Mom can turn side to side.Measures Intensity: strength of UC internally[30-50mmHg during peak of contx]
Disadvantages: risk of maternal infection, mom cantambulate.

Fetal Heart Rate
Baseline average fetal heart rate that occursbetween contx.s during 10 min. period.
Normal 110/120 - 160 [accels/decels not counted]
BradycardiaFHR < 110 for 10 minutes; 160 for 10 minutes.
assoc. with maternal temp. and infection such as
chorioamnionitis.
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
44/67
Variability [FHR] aka Baseline Variability
Fluctuations in FHR. Normal & expectedfinding. Should always be present; appears as jitters.
Clinical Significance- fetal well-being.
Caused bynatural pacemaker ability of FH d/t
effects of sympathetic & parasympatheticnervous system.
Nursing Interventions- cont. monitoring & assesstracing q 15 min. Should show 6-25 bpm
fluctuations within one min. period. 120 135 reassuring
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
45/67
Main Causes of decreased variability include:
Hypoxemia/acidosis (due to fetal distress)Fetal sleep cyclesDrugs (Analgesics, barbiturates, tranquilizers, anesthetics)PrematurityArrhythmiasFetal tachycardia
Preexisting neurological abnormalityCongenital anomalies
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
46/67
Decreased variability of FHR
Nursing Interventions:
* accoustic stimulation to wake fetus* Narcan* Amnioinfusion - decreases cord comp; dilutes mec.* Left/right lateral position or knee-chest; notify MD;
fetal scalp pH, possible emergency C/S; IVF, O2 Flat tracing or minimal aka non-reactive tracing[pencil mark pattern] indicates fetal distress; must becorrected or delivered ASAP. Experienced RN usually ableto determine reason for non-reactive tracing.

How Do Uterine Contractions Affect Fetal Heart Rate?
Uterine contractions can affect fetal heart rate by increasing or decreasing that rate in association with any given contraction.
The three primary mechanisms by which uterine contractions can cause a decrease in fetal heart rate are compression of:
Fetal head compression
Umbilical cord compression
Uterine myometrial vessel compression
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
48/67
Decelerations: decreases in FHR.
Early deceleration of FHR- periodic in FHR
Cause = head compression during contx.s
Shape= onset of decel to peak > than 30 sec.
Nadir of decel (lowest point) & peak of contx. (highestpoint) coincide. Mirror image of contx.
Range= lasts as long as contx.; resolves with end ofcontx. Occurs late in labor when head has descended.
Clinical Significance= normal; if it occurs early in laborbefore head fully descends, may be indication for
cephalo-pelvic disproportion [CPD].
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
49/67
Late deceleration of FHR:
Cause= uteroplacental insufficiency or blood
flow thru uterus during contx.s
Shape nadir of decel. occurs > end of contx. range - occur 30-40 seconds > contx. starts &
continue > contx. ends clinical significance needs immediate attention;
possible fetal distress. Could be d/t pitocin that iscausing hypertonic uterus.[ too many contx.- notime for recovery]
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
50/67
Nursing Interventions:
-Left lateral position takes pressure
off aorta & vena cava; circulation touterus.
-IV flow rate Circulation
oxygen - face mask [5liters/min].D/C pitocin & document
assist with fetal blood sampling
[measures acidosis in fetus whichsignifies hypoxia]
Prepare for emergency C/S if decels.persist
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
51/67
Variable deceleration of FHR
Cause: compressed umbilical cord
Shape U or V shaped waves in FHR
Range no pattern; occur in relation to contx.s
Clinical Significance fetus lying on cord; could be
dangerous if persist.
Occurs more > ROM [less fluid as cushion]
V = C variable decels = cord compression
E = H early decels = head compressionA = O accelerations = OK
L = P late decels = Placental insufficiency
Bradycardia = R/O prolapsed cord [emergency]!
-
8/10/2019 Labor & Delivery 6 Lecture Student Version Final(1)
52/67
Nursing Interventions
oxygen via face mask; IV fluids
change maternal position; take pressure offcord
continue monitoring w.EFM
follow hospital protocol: MD will do
amnioinfusion > ROM to supplement amnioticfluid thats left; provides fluid barrier to preventfurther cord compression.
Sterile, warm 500 ml NS/RL inserted into uterus
EFM observed for improved FHR pattern.

4. Accelerations of FHR: temporary abrupt increase inFHR above normal baseline.
cause- fetal movement; contractions *
shape-FHR rises w. return to baseline; can occur @same time as contx. or independently.
Premie < 32 wks.; 10 bpm rise lasting 10 sec. ok
32 wks. or >, 15 bpm rise baseline lasting 15 sec. ok
ex. 135 to 150s for 30 seconds.
clinical significance: normal; signifies fetal well-being.FHR meeting demands of labor process well.
