  3. Stage One- Labor What is Labor? Labor is the process of expulsion of the fetus and the placenta from the uterus.

  4. Signs of Labor • The baby “dropping” • More Braxton Hicks contractions • Your cervix starts to ripen • You pass your mucus plug or notice "bloody show" • Your water breaks

  5. The Very Beginning of Labor • You will begin to feel the contractions • *Dilation starts *Dilation is gradual widening of the cervical opening

  6. Stages of Labor Labor can be broken down into the following stages… • Early labor or Latent labor • Active labor • Transition Stage

  7. Early Labor or Latent Labor • Longest stage • Contractions may be spaced 5 to 20 minutes apart and last anywhere from 30 to 45 seconds each. • Continues until dilation reaches 3 centimeters. • Backache, mild diarrhea, anxiety and/or excitement are common

  8. Active Labor Stage • Dilation occurs at a steadier pace • Cervix becomes four to seven centimeters dilated. • Baby starts to position itself

  9. Transition Stage • Contractions most intense • Cervix fully dilated • Your ready to push

  10. Stage 2- Delivery of the baby • Women feel the urge to push • Baby is born

  11. Stage 3- The Placenta • Placenta is delivered • Less painful than childbirth • Happens about 20 minutes after child birth

  12. Common Labor Complications • Breech Baby • Abnormal heart rate • Fetal meconium • Slow labor • Placenta previa

  13. Uncommon Labor Complications • Fetal Distress- which occurs when the fetus has not been receiving enough oxygen • Can last when pregnancy lasts too long or complications occur

  14. C-Section • Delivery of a baby through a surgical incision in the mothers abdomen. • More likely to have an infection, excessive bleeding, blood clots, more postpartum pain. • Longer recovery, longer hospital stay
