May need to perform Nitrazine test to determine if mother has urinated or ruptured membranes.Fetal head will be on cervix and will stimulate uterine contractions and therefore labor Absence of the buffer of the amniotic fluid in uterus.AROM: artificial rupture of membranes Done with a tool or hand of physician.ROM: spontaneous rupture of membranes at full term.Bacteria gets in because prolonged rupture.Greatest risk to baby occurs when this occurs before 37 weeks.PPROM: Preterm premature rupture of membranes.Estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate, causing a fluid shift and subsequent weight loss of 2.2-6.6 kg approximately 24-48 hrs prior to labor.Burst of energy can occur 24-48 hrs before (“nesting”).Cervix gets ready by ripening, potentially dilating/effacing.Brown/blood tinged cervical mucus passes.Other events that occur just before labor occurs.False labor does not do any of the above.True labor produces dilation, effacement, engagement and descent.If mom changes activity (going from resting to walking) and the contractions stop, it is FALSE labor.True labor is progressive, regular, and becomes stronger.Restitution and external rotation : occur simultaneously as a fluid movement.Internal rotation : baby rotates within the birth canal.0 station = presenting part at ischial spine. Descent is measured by station, continuous process until delivery.Descent and flexion : process of presenting part (typically the head) going through mom’s pelvis, occur simultaneously as a fluid movement.Occurs approximately 2 weeks before delivery.Engagement : where the presenting part descends through the pelvic inlet.It is important to be able to differentiate between true vs.The uterus is a muscle and it contracts to prepare for childbirth.Occasionally referred to as the Cardinal Movements.Fetus has to be well engaged and mom in true labor to be successful.This all happens fluidly during the process of delivery.Cardinal movements-specific movements the baby does, in this specific order, to exit mom successfully.See this video to know what cardinal movements of labor really is. These 7 mechanisms of labor occur in normal labor which is a normal lie, presentation, and attitude. This is when the whole body of the baby is born. Seventh step – ExpulsionĪt the same time, the anterior shoulder of the baby passes through the pubic arch, and then the posterior shoulder will pass through the pelvic canal. Sixth step – External rotationĪt this point the fetal head and shoulder start to realign. Fifth step – ExtentionĪs fetal occiput slip below the pubic arch (which is also called crawling), the fetal head began to extend. But the shoulder does not rotate along with the head of the fetus. it causes the back of the baby’s head to rotate to anterior from its original transverse position. Forth step – Internal rotationĪs uterine contraction increases and fetal occiput advance through the maternal pelvis, it gets resistance from the maternal pelvic floor. It reduces anteroposterior diameter which makes it easier to pass through the pelvic bone. Flexion usually occurs due to resistance of the pelvic floor. it helps the baby to go down through the pelvic bone easily. The lowest diameter of the baby head is when the baby flexes its head. Decent is usually occurred after labor start due to uterine contraction and maternal pushing down effort. This is the time where your baby head moves down into the pelvis. If this is your first pregnancy, the baby head might be engaged even before the labor started. This is the time when the baby head entered the mother’s pelvis (usually in a transverse position). The process is called cardinal movements of labor.
