At the onset of labor, the position of the fetus with respect to the birth canal is critical to the route of delivery. Fetal orientation relative to the maternal pelvis is described in terms of FETAL LIE, PRESENTATION, ATTITUDE, AND POSITION.
fetal and the maternal axes cross at a 45-degree angle unstable and always becomes longitudinal or transverse during the course of labor
Fetal Presentation
presenting part is that portion of the fetal body that is either foremost within the birth canal or in closest proximity to it
Fetal Presentation
Cephalic
Fetal Presentation
Breech
FOOTLING
Fetal Attitude
habitus
characteristic posture
fetus forms an ovoid mass that corresponds roughly to the shape of the uterine cavity characteristic posture results from the mode of fetal growth and its accommodation to the uterine cavity.
Fetal Attitude
Abnormal exceptions to this attitude occur as the fetal head becomes progressively more extended from the vertex to the face progressive change in fetal attitude from a convex (flexed) to a concave (extended) contour of the vertebral column
Fetal Position
relationship of an arbitrarily chosen portion of the fetal presenting part to the right or left side of the birth canal
with each presentation there may be two positions right or left
Fetal Position
Leopolds Maneuver
the fundus with the tips of the fingers of both hands to define which fetal pole is present in the fundus
Breech gives the sensation of a large, nodular body Cephalic head feels hard and round and is more freely movable and balottable
Leopolds Maneuver
The palms are placed on either side of the abdomen and gentle but deep pressure is exerted Back hard, resistant structure Extremities numerous small, irregular and mobile parts
Leopolds Maneuver
unengaged
Using the thumb and fingers on one hand, the lower portion of the abdomen is grasped just above the symphysis pubis
If the presenting part is not engaged, a movable body will be felt, usually the head
Leopolds Maneuver
If the cephalic prominence is on the same side as the small parts, the head must be flexed, and therefore the vertex is the presenting part When the cephalic prominence of the fetus is on the same side as the back, the head must be extended If the presenting part is deeply engaged, however, the findings from this maneuver are simply indicative that the lower fetal pole is fixed in the pelvis, the details are then defined by the last maneuver
unengaged
Leopolds Maneuver
cephalic
The examiner faces the mothers feet and, with the tips of the first 3 fingers of each hand, exerts deep pressure in the direction of the axis of the pelvic inlet.
Leopolds Maneuver
cephalic
Vertex Presentation the prominence is on the same side as the small parts Face Presentations on the same side as the back
Leopolds Maneuver
A transverse lie:
Inspection: abdomen is unusually wide, whereas the uterine fundus extends to only slightly above the umbilicus
No fetal pole is detected in the fundus, and the ballottable head is found in one iliac fossa and the breech in the other. Back is anterior = hard resistance plane extends across the front of the abdomen; Back is posterior = irregular nodulations are felt through the abdominal wall.
Labor
Uterine contractions that bring about demonstrable effacement and dilatation of the cervix
PREPARATORY DIVISION
cervix dilates little, its connective tissue components change considerably; sedation and conduction analgesia are capable of arresting this division of labor
DILATATIONAL DIVISION
PELVIC DIVISION
PELVIC DIVISION
the point at which the mother perceives regular contractions for most women ends at between 3 and 5 cm of dilatation
may be clinically useful, for it defines cervical dilatation limits beyond which active labor can be expected PROLONGED: exceeding 20 hours in the nullipara or 14 hours in the multipara
cervical dilatation of 3 to 5 cm or more, in the presence of uterine contractions, can be taken to reliably represent the threshold for active labor.
Labor: True
Labor: False
irregular intervals
long intervals
intensity remains unchanged Discomfort is chiefly in lower abdomen Cervix does not dilate Discomfort is usually relieved by sedation
Amniotic fluid seen pooling in the posterior fornix or clear fluid passing from the cervical canal Testing the pH of the vaginal fluid:
Normal pH = 4.5-5.5 whereas the amniotic fluid: 7.0-7.5 pH above 6.5 is consistent with ruptured membranes
Nitrazine
simple and fairly reliable test papers impregnated with dye
Other Tests :
arborization or ferning of vaginal fluid suggests amniotic rather than cervical fluid
Cervix
Cervical Dilation
Cervical Effacement
Expressed in terms of length of cervical canal compared to uneffaced cervix If reduced by - 50% effaced
Cervix
Cervical Position
Relationship of cervical as to fetal lie categorized as posterior, midposition or anterior
Station
The levelor stationof the presenting fetal part in the birth canal is described in relationship to the ischial spines, which are halfway between the pelvic inlet and the pelvic outlet. When lowermost portion of presenting part is at level of ischial spines designated as ZERO STATION
Station
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists classified stations dividing the pelvic above and below the spines into fifths represent centimeters above and below the spines into fifths
Station
Station +5 corresponds to fetal head visible at the introitus If the head is unusually molded, or if there is an extensive caput formation, or both, engagement might not have taken place even though the head appears to be at 0 station
Monitoring fetal well-being during labor Fetal heart rate stethoscope or any Doppler ultrasound devices fetal heart auscultated after contraction fetal jeopardy FHR <100/min
Maternal Monitoring
Maternal Monitoring
Food withheld during active labor and delivery Gastric emptying time is prolonged once labor is established and analgesics are administered
begins when cervical dilatation is complete and ends with fetal delivery Median duration ~ 50 minutes for nulliparas and about 20 minutes for multiparas can be highly variable

Identification
Full cervical dilatation Bearing down efforts lasting 1 minutes Descent of presenting part with urge to defecate
The positional changes in the presenting part required to navigate the pelvic canal constitute the mechanisms of labor. The cardinal movements of labor are engagement, descent, flexion, internal rotation, extension, external rotation, and expulsion
Coaching
Legs = half-flexed so that she can push with them against the mattress Intruct = Take a deep breath as soon as the next uterine contraction begins, and with her breath held, to exert downward pressure exactly as though she were straining at stool While actively bearing down, the fetal heart rate immediately after the contraction is likely to be slow, but should recover to normal range before the next expulsive effort.
The occiput is being kept close to the symphysis by moderate pressure to the fetal chin at the tip of the maternal coccyx RITGEN MANUEVER OR MODIFIED RITGEN MANUEVER
Forward pressure on the chin of the fetus through the perineum just in front of the coccyx, at the same time, the other hand exerts pressure superiorly against the occiput
The umbilical cord is cut between two clamps placed 4 to 5 cm from the fetal abdomen, and later an umbilical cord clamp is applied 2 to 3 cm from the fetal abdomen After delivery the newborn is placed at or below the level of the vaginal introitus for 3 minutes and the fetoplacental circulation is not immediately occluded by cord clamping, an average of 80 mL of blood may be shifted from the placenta to the neonate This provides approximately 50 mg of iron, which reduces the frequency of iron deficiency anemia later in infancy
Watchful waiting until the placenta is separated as long as the uterus remains firm and there is no unusual bleeding Hand is rested on the fundus frequently to make certain that the organ does not become atonic and filled with blood behind a separate placenta
Calkins Sign the uterus becomes globular and, as a rule, firmer; earliest to appear
Sudden gush of blood the uterus rises in the abdomen Lengthening of the umbilical cord
Expression of the placenta should never be forced before placental separation lest the uterus becomes inverted Traction on the umbilical cord must not be used to pull the placenta out of the uterus. Uterine inversion is one of the grave complications associated with delivery, and it constitutes an emergency requiring immediate attention
Manual removal brisk bleeding placenta cannot be delivered by these techniques This is especially common in cases of preterm delivery
UTERINE MASSAGE following placental delivery is recommended by many to prevent postpartum hemorrhage. OXYTOCIN, ERGONOVINE, AND METHYLERGONOVINE are all employed widely in the normal third stage of labor If they are given before delivery of the placenta, however, they may entrap an undiagnosed, undelivered second twin
OXYTOCIN (pitocin, syntocinon) Inappropriate dose uterus may contract so violently as to kill the fetus Cardiovascular effects : o Transient fall in arterial blood pressure
