Childbirth Process

Childbirth terms

Childbirth Terms Labor The work of the mother and baby to help the baby be delivered. Regular contractions of the uterus that result in dilation and effacement of the cervix.

Childbirth Terms Show or mucous plug A pinkish plug that covers the cervix Released at the beginning of labor. Water breaking The amniotic sac breaks or is broken releasing amniotic fluid.

Childbirth Terms Dilation The extent to which the cervix has opened in preparation for childbirth. It is measured in centimeters Full dilation being 10 centimeters

Childbirth Terms Effacement The thinning of the cervix in preparation for birth Expressed in percentages The mother will be 100% effaced when she begins pushing

Childbirth Terms Fontanels Soft spots between the unfused sections of the baby’s skull. These allow the baby’s head to compress slightly during passage through the birth canal.

Childbirth Terms Episiotomy A surgical incision made on the perineum used to enlarge the vaginal opening to help deliver a baby. Prevents the skin from tearing. The incision is stitched after the third stage of labor.

Childbirth Terms Contraction The regular tightening of the uterus working to push the baby down the birth canal. Delivery The process of the fetus being expelled from the uterus.

Childbirth Terms Post-partum The time after delivery where rest is the mother’s primary physical need. Time from birth to six weeks.

Childbirth Terms Forceps and Vacuum extractor Tools used by the obstetrician to guide the fetal head during delivery.

Childbirth Terms Lochia After delivery, bloody vaginal discharge. Comparable to a heavy period Lasts up to six weeks Station Refers to the position of the baby in the birth canal.

Stages of labor

Dilation The first stage of labor Usually the longest stage of labor while the cervix dilates from 0-10 cm and becomes effaced.

Dilation Contractions begin to dilate the cervix. Contractions become longer, stronger, and closer together.

Expulsion The second stage of labor. Crowning is when the baby’s head has passed through the birth canal and the top or “crown” stays visible at the vaginal opening without slipping back inside. The purpose of contractions during this stage is to push the baby out of the uterus.

Expulsion As delivery approaches, contractions become longer, stronger, and closer together. Average birth weight of a full term healthy baby is 7-8 pounds and 20 inches in length.

Afterbirth The third stage of labor. Is when the afterbirth, consisting of the amniotic sac, placenta, and umbilical cord, is expelled Usually lasts anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes or more.

Afterbirth Mild contractions that last about a minute each will help separate the placenta from the uterine wall and move it through the birth canal so that it can be pushed. The practitioner may help speed up the process by putting gentle pressure on your uterus.

Delivery options

Vaginal Delivered through the vaginal opening.

Cesarean Surgery performed so the baby can be delivered through an incision made in the abdomen wall and uterus.

Cesarean Reasons for performing a C-section: The position of the baby The umbilical cord wrapping around the baby’s neck Problems with the fetal heart rate The fetus is under stress The mother is in danger

Anesthesia Natural Childbirth without any medication Epidural Pain medication injected into a space within the expecting mother’s spinal cord region. Numbs from the abdomen or pelvis downward. Given to relieve pain during the labor and delivery process.

Doctors Obstetrician Gynecologist The doctor trained to deliver the baby. Midwife A registered nurse with additional training as a midwife. A person with formal training in childbirth without a nursing degree who delivers infants and provides prenatal and postpartum care.

Delivery Rooms Birthing Room Labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery all occurs in the same room. Delivery Room Labor and delivery occur in this room Mother is then moved to a postpartum room to recover. Operating Room Cesarean sections occur in this room

Delivery Position of the Fetus Normal Head first and face down Breech position delivery Feet or buttocks first Posterior position delivery Head first and face up Transverse position delivery Fetus is laying sideways
