    Pathophysiology

    Uploaded by

    Dante Sales
    The document discusses the physiology of pregnancy and labor. It describes the hormonal changes that lead to ovulation, fertilization, and implantation. It then discusses the signs of early labor including lightening, Braxton Hicks contractions, and cervical ripening. True labor is characterized by regular, intensifying uterine contractions and rupture of membranes. Failed progress in labor for reasons like a previous cesarean can increase risks for the fetus and may require an emergency cesarean delivery by incision of the lower abdomen to deliver the fetus and placenta.

    PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

    PHYSIOLOGY OF PUFT CESAREAN DELIVERY


    Release of FSH by the anterior pituitary gland

    Development of the graafian follicle

    Production of estrogen (thickening of the endometrium)

    Release of the luteinizing hormone

    Ovulation (release of mature ovum from the graafian follicle)

    Ovum travels into the fallopian tube

    Fertilization (union of the ovum and sperm in the ampulla)

    Zygote travels from the fallopian tube to the uterus

    Implantation

    Development of the fetus/embryo & placental structure until full term

    PRELIMINARY SIGNS OF LABOR

    Emergent cesarean delivery (the incision made on the lower part of the abdomen)

    Expulsion of the fetus

    Expulsion of the placenta (accompanied by bloodless approximately 1000-1500 mL)
