  16. Contractions Duration Frequency Intensity Powers

  17. Contractions Increment Acme Decrement Powers

  18. Fatigue Anxiety Trust in Medical Care and Self Ability to Receive and Use Support Psyche • Immediate Issues

  19. Pre-Existing Issues Motivation for the Pregnancy Self-Confidence Personal Expectations Relationship with Support Person(s) Culture and Its’ View of Childbirth Obstetric/ Family History Childbirth Education Classes Psyche

  20. Maternal Position • Bedrest: Low semi-Fowler’s • Necessary position with epidural placement • Patient is tipped to one side to avoid vena cava syndrome • Changing position from one side to other changes relationship of presenting part to maternal pelvis

  21. Maternal Position • Bedrest: Side-lying or “runner’s position” • Useful for rest in early labor • Also a good position for sleep in advancing pregnancy • Needs lots of pillows for comfort and correct positioning

  22. Maternal Position • Upright Positions: • Chair/Rocker • Walking • Stair Climbing (especially 2 at a time) • Birthing Ball • Squatting/Squat Bar • Toilet sitting

  23. Maternal Position • Positions to help back labor: • Leaning over the bed • All fours • Pelvic rocking • Leaning on the hallway bars • Slow dancing • Counterpressure

  24. Placenta • Low-lying placenta may cause the baby to assume a transverse lie • May also impede descent of the baby

  25. Cardinal Movements • Engagement

  26. Cardinal Movements • Engagement • Descent

  27. Cardinal Movements • Engagement • Descent • Flexion

  28. Cardinal Movements • Engagement • Descent • Flexion • Internal Rotation

  29. Cardinal Movements • Engagement • Descent • Flexion • Internal Rotation • Extension

  30. Cardinal Movements • Engagement • Descent • Flexion • Internal Rotation • Extension • Restitution

  31. Cardinal Movements • Engagement • Descent • Flexion • Internal Rotation • Extension • Restitution • External Rotation

  32. Cardinal Movements • Engagement • Descent • Flexion • Internal Rotation • Extension • Restitution • External Rotation • Expulsion (BIRTH!)

  33. Signs of Labor • Lightening • Frequent Urination • Sciatic Nerve Discomfort • Back Discomfort

  34. Signs of Labor • Lightening • Frequent Urination • Sciatic Nerve Discomfort • Back Discomfort • Braxton-Hicks (Warm-Up) Contractions • Vaginal Discharge • Bloody show • Nesting

  35. Signs of Labor • Rupture of membranes • Called PROM if before contractions start • Amount of fluid can vary • Assess • Time of Rupture • Color of fluid • Clarity of fluid • Fetal movement since rupture? • Have contractions started?

  36. Signs of Labor • What is “False Labor”? • Looks/feels like labor to mother but no change in cervix • Abdominal/groin pain • Changing level or type of activity makes contractions go away • Contractions don’t get stronger, longer or closer together (intensity, duration, frequency) • Contractions do not change the dilatation or effacement of cervix

  37. Signs of Labor • What is “True Labor”? • Contractions that efface or dilate the cervix • Contractions usually cause low back pain or suprapubic pressure (or both) • Contractions are regular and rhythmic • Changing type or level of activity does NOT make them go away • Contractions get longer, stronger, closer together (duration, intensity, frequency)

  38. Theories About the Onset of Labor • Progesterone Deprivation Theory • Oxytocin Theory • Fetal Endocrine Control Theory • Prostaglandin Theory

  39. Physiologic changes with L & D • Labor is hard physical work

  40. Physiologic changes with L & D • Labor is hard physical work • Increases in systolic and diastolic BP

  41. Physiologic changeswith L & D • Labor is hard physical work • Increases in systolic and diastolic BP • Increased cardiac output

  42. Physiologic changeswith L & D • Labor is hard physical work • Increases in systolic and diastolic BP • Increased cardiac output • Fluid and electrolyte loss: • diaphoresis • hyperventilation • elevated temperature

  43. Physiologic changeswith L & D • Peristalsis slows in most of GI tract, except lower colon

  44. Physiologic changeswith L & D • Peristalsis slows in most of GI tract, except lower colon • Decreased absorption of solids

  45. Physiologic changeswith L & D • Peristalsis slows in most of GI tract, except lower colon • Decreased absorption of solids • Anorexia is common

  46. Physiologic changes with L & D • Peristalsis slows in most of GI tract, except lower colon • Decreased absorption of solids • Anorexia is common • Nausea and vomiting can occur during transition

  47. Fetal Response to Labor • Persistent fetal heart rate changes may indicate changes in fetal well-being

  48. Fetal Response to Labor • Persistent fetal heart rate changes may indicate changes in fetal well-being • Most fetuses are well equipped for the stress of labor

  49. Fetal Response to Labor • Persistent fetal heart rate changes may indicate changes in fetal well-being • Most fetuses are well equipped for the stress of labor • Initial assistance to the fetus is provided through the mother (position change, fluids, O2)

  50. Fetal Response to Labor • Persistent fetal heart rate changes may indicate changes in fetal well-being • Most fetuses are well equipped for the stress of labor • Initial assistance to the fetus is provided through the mother (position change, fluids, O2) • A more thorough discussion is in the section on fetal monitoring
