Aims • Normal Labour • Complications • Multiple Pregnancy • Abnormal fetal presentations • Emergencies • Shoulder dystocia • Cord Prolapse • Amniotic Fluid embolism • Uterine Rupture • Prematurity, postmaturity and puerperium The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Normal Labour • Process whereby fetus and placenta are expelled from uterus. • Normally between 37 and 42 weeks gestation • When is diagnosis made? • Painful uterine contractions accompany dilatation and effacement of the cervix. • 3 stages The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Labour - Anatomy • Mechanical factors • Powers – degree of force expelling fetus • Passage – Dimension of pelvis and resistance of soft tissues • Passengers – Diameter of fetal head The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Labour - Powers • Uterine contractions • Braxton Hicks occur after 30th week and can be palpated. • Causes cervical dilatation (1st stage and then expulsion 2nd and 3rd stages) • Effacement • Incorporation of cervix into lower uterine segment • Poor uterine activity • Nulliparous • Induced labour The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Labour • What is: • Effacement? • Lie? • Presentation? • Station? • Attitude? • Rotation? The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Labour • Which three of the following are true? • A) The lie of the fetus describes the relationship of the fetus to the long axis of the uterus • B) Presentation refers to the part of the fetus that occupies the lower segment of the uterus or pelvis • C) Abnormal lie occurs in 1 in 200 births • D) Preterm labour is less commonly complicated by an abnormal lie than labour at full term • E) Unstable lie in nulliparous women is common • F) In an extended breech the feet are presenting • A, B and C are true The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Labour - passages • Bony Pelvis • Inlet • Mid cavity • Outlet • Ischial spine • Used to assess descent (station) • Soft Tissues • Cervical dilatation • Vagina and perineum need to be overcome in second stage The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Labour - passages • Regarding the normal bony pelvis: which three of the following are true? • A) The inlet of the pelvis is widest in its AP diameter at about 11cm • B) The mid-cavity is almost round, as the transverse and AP diameter are roughly similar • C) At the outlet, the AP diameter is about 12.5cm • D) Station 0 means the head is at the level of the ischial spines, approximately mid-cavity • E) Station is documented as +/-1, 2, 3; +2 means the head is 2cm above the spines • F) The coccyx may cause obstruction • B, C and D The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Labour - passages The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Labour - Passenger • Attitude and position of the fetal head: which four of the following are true? • A) Attitude is the degree of flexion of the head on the neck. The ideal attitude is maximal extension, keeping the head bowed. • B) Maximal flexion is called vertex presentation and the presenting diameter is 9.5 cm. • C) Extension of 90° results in brow presentation, and a much larger diameter of 13 cm. • D) 120° of extension from the vertex position results in face presentation. • E) The head must normally rotate 90° during labour. • F) The head usually delivers in the occipito-posterior position (OP). • B,C, D and E The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Labour - Passenger • Head is oblong in transverse section and bones not fused yet so moulding can occur. • Attitude • Degree of flexion of head on neck (ideally maximal flexion – vertex presentation) • Extension/flexion • Presentation • Part of fetus that occupies the lower segment or pelvis – head (cephalic) or breech The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…

Management of Labour • Progress in labour: problems and their treatment: which two of the following are true? • A) The partogram aids identification of abnormal progress. • B)Cephalo-pelvic disproportion is the most common cause of slow progress in labour. • C) When hyperactive uterine contractions are associated with vaginal bleeding and fetal heart rate abnormalities, tocolysis should be given. • D) In a multiparous woman, if descent is poor in the second stage, an oxytocin infusion should be started and pushing delayed by up to 2 hours. • E) Epidural analgesia is associated with an increased risk of instrumental delivery. • F)Occipito-posterior position in the first stage of labour should be identified so that oxytocin can be given. • A and E The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…

Management of Labour The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Management of Labour • Nulliparous • First stage • Slow progress – Augmentation via ARM/amniotomy or artificial oxytocin. If no full dilatation after 12-16hr then C-section • Passive second stage • Poor descent – oxytocin infusion • Active second stage • If lasts longer than 1hr, spontaneous delivery unlikely due to maternal exhaustion, fetal hypoxia. – Episiotomy, ventouse or forceps. • Multiparous • Unlikely to be problems with powers in first stage, more likely to be problems with fetal head. • Careful with augmentation with oxytocin.
