is called abnormal labour.

Stages of labour
First stage of labour:- It begins from the onset of true labour pain and ends
with full dilatation of the cervix.It is also known as “cervical stage”.

 Its average duration is 12 hours in primigravida and 6 hours in


multigravida.

Second stage of labour :- It starts from full dilatation of the cervicx and ends
with expulsion of the fetus from birth canal.

 Propulsive phase.
 Expulsive phase.

Propulsive phase :- Full dilatation upto the descent of the presenting part to
the pelvic floor.

Expulsive phase :- Maternal bearing down efforts and delivery of the fetus.

 Its average duration 2 hours in primigravida.


 30 minutes in multipara.

Third stage of labour :-It begins after expulsion of the fetus and ends with
expulsion of placenta and memberane .

Fourth stage of labour :-It is the stage of observation for at least one hour
after expulsion of the after birth.

Steps of mechanism of labour :-


1) Engagement
2) Descent
3) Flexion
4) Internal rotation of the head
5) Crowing
6) Extension
7) Restitution
8) Internal rotation of the shoulders
9) External rotation of the head
10) Expulsion of the trunk.

Complication of labour
1) Premature rupture of the memberane:- PROM refers to
spontaneous rupture of the amniotic memberane before the onset of
the labour.

2) Prolapsed umbilical cord :- The umbilical cord is displaced between


the presenting part and amnion or protruding through the cervix,
compression of the cord and compression fetal circulation.

3) Placenta previa :-It is improperly implanted placenta in the lower


uterine segment near or over the internal os

4) Abruptio placenta :- Premature separation of the placenta from the


uterine wall after 20th weeks of gestation.
5) Preterm labour :- It occurs after 20th weeks but before the 37 weeks
of gestation.

6) Precipitate labour :- Labour lasting less than 3 hours.

8) Amniotic fluid embolism :- AFE is the escape of amniotic fluid into


the maternal circulation.

9) Fetal distress :- Fetal heart rate less than 110b/ minute or greater
than 160b/ minute.

10) Interauterine fetal demise :- * loss of fetal movement and


abscene of fetal heart rate or tone.
11) Uterine inversion :- Uterus completely or partial turns inside
