Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Introduction to Labor, Vaginal and Cesarean Delivery” by Candi Douthit, BSN.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about labor, vaginal delivery, and cesarean delivery, three important concepts related to childbirth. Labor refers to the process by which the uterus contracts to expel the fetus and the placenta from the womans body. Vaginal delivery, also known as normal delivery or natural birth, refers to the process of delivering the baby through the birth canal. Cesarean delivery, also known as a C-section, is a surgical procedure in which the baby is delivered through an incision in the mothers abdomen and uterus.

During labor, the cervix of the mother dilates and effaces, allowing the baby to pass through the birth canal. The contractions of the uterus push the baby downward, and as the baby moves through the birth canal, the mother pushes to help the baby move through the narrow opening. Once the baby is delivered, the placenta is also expelled from the uterus.

In a vaginal delivery, the baby is delivered through the birth canal. This process can take several hours and may involve the use of pain relief medications, such as epidurals or analgesics. Vaginal delivery is considered the preferred method of delivery in most cases, as it is associated with fewer complications and a shorter recovery time for the mother.

However, in some cases, a cesarean delivery may be necessary. This may be the case if the baby is in a breech position, if the mother has a medical condition that makes vaginal delivery unsafe, or if there are complications during labor that make vaginal delivery difficult or dangerous. During a cesarean delivery, the mother is given anesthesia, and the baby is delivered through an incision in the abdomen and uterus. Recovery from a cesarean delivery is typically longer and more difficult than recovery from a vaginal delivery.

Both vaginal and cesarean deliveries are considered safe methods of childbirth when performed by a qualified healthcare provider in a medical facility. The decision of which method of delivery to use depends on a variety of factors, including the health of the mother and baby, the progress of labor, and the preferences of the mother.

Slide 4-

Types of Delivery Despite the type of delivery you are planning, it is important to know about all of them Best plan is to keep in mind that our most important goal is a healthy mom and a healthy baby.
Slide 5-

Symptoms your body is Preparing for Labor Backache: persistent dull ache Cramps: mild to moderate discomfort PMS symptoms: crabby, irritable Nesting Urge Frequent, soft bowel movements Flu-like symptoms Baby “drops”
Slide 6-

Impending Signs of Delivery Mucous plug May be thick mucous, blood tinged or not It is normal after a vaginal exam to have brownish/red discharge d/t the trauma of the exam Water breaks 80% of time you will go into labor after Note the color, any odor, amount Go the hospital
Slide 7-

Contractions Braxton Hicks: irregular or regular, may come and go, short while or several hours “False Labor” doesn’t mean they don’t hurt and doesn’t mean they aren’t doing anything to prepare for delivery
Slide 8-

Contractions Contractions of Active Labor Progressive, get stronger and stronger, closer together Felt in the back, abdomen, or both. May start in the back and radiate forward Usually increase with activity Don’t go away with rest or fluids
Slide 9-

Other signs you are in “Active Labor” Dilation of the cervix with vaginal exam Labor check-2 exams, one hr apart The contractions just don’t stop
Slide 10-

When to go to the hospital Contractions are 3-5min apart and don’t go away with rest/fluids Water breaks If you’re having contractions, and/or your water breaks and you are scheduled for a c-section http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EnRV31mjZY
Slide 11-

Induction of Labor Means we artificially start the labor process Done for medical and personal reasons Only after 39wks, unless medically indicated Associated with increased pain, interventions and cesarean delivery (forces your body to do what it may not be ready to do)
Slide 12-

What to bring to the Hospital Insurance card and preadmission packet Your glasses, even if you wear contacts normally…may want to take them out. (Don’t forget contact case and solution) Toiletries-things you might want during your stay Comfortable lounging clothes Slippers and a robe Light reading Massage oils, lotions, favorite music, favorite pillow, movies, whatever you need to relax Massage tools, aromatherapy

Slide 17-

Vaginal Delivery Vaginal Exam cont.: Effacement 0-100% Dilation: 0-10 Station: location of baby’s head in relation to spines of the pelvis, -4 to +4 http://www.babycenter.com/stages-of-labor
Slide 18-

What to Expect During Labor Progression of contractions Progression of pain To move Verbalize your needs to your support team
Slide 19-

Labor Labor is the transition point, going from individual to mother, from couple to family. Hence with the transition you have many changes: Physical-labor changes, pain Emotional-fear, stress, anxiety Intellectual-can I be a mom, will the baby be ok Loss of control-we don’t like to be vulnerable or out of control, creates fear
Slide 20-

Labor Average 12-16hrs for first baby Is difficult and painful, even with drugs Your body instinctively knows what to do Your body gives you time between contractions to rest and prepare for the next one
Slide 21-

Stages of Labor Stage One-onset of labor to 10cm dilation Early Phase Avg 8hrs Active Phase Avg 4-5hrs Transition Phase 30 min to 2hrs Stage Two-10cm to birth of baby, 1 contraction to 2hrs -laboring down, pushing, delivery Stage 3-delivery of the newborn to delivery of the placenta, 5-30min
Slide 22-

Stage One of Labor 1. Early Phase Start of labor to 3cm Feel very social, excited, anticipatory Conserve energy Longest phase, one you are most comfortable in 2. Active Phase 3-7cm dilation Contractions are stronger and more intense, regular Need to concentrate on the work at hand, no longer social Relaxation techniques helpful here
Slide 23-

Stage One of Labor 3. Transition 7-10cm dilation Hardest but shortest stage Contractions are very intense and feel they come one after the other Pressure in the perineum as the baby comes down
Slide 24-

Labor: Stage Two May feel the urger to bare down Push when the physician tells you to do so Prior to this you have been cooperating with your body, now you will actively work with your body to deliver the baby With each contraction you will bare down and move the baby through the birth canal
Slide 25-

Labor: Stage Three Birth of the baby Focus on the baby Several more labor-like contractions will come then delivery of the placenta (physician will massage your belly to facilitate this) Breastfeed or just watch and touch your baby

Cesarean Section Birth Indications: prior c-section, infant complications, mother complications Know that any delivery can go to a cesarean section at any time….again, our goal is a healthy mom and a healthy baby If mom or baby has complications, this will happen very quickly, goal is delivery within 30 min.
Slide 29-

Risks of Cesarean Delivery Mother Longer hospital stay Increased blood loss Infection Injury to bowel, bladder, ureter Blood clots Anesthesia complications Pain Admission to the ICU Hysterectomy
Slide 31-

Risks of Cesarean Delivery Baby Not squeezed, so increased breathing complications Less immediate contact with mom Longer till breastfeeding is initiated Scalpel injury Fetal death
Slide 32-

Risks of Cesarean DeliveryRisks for future pregnancy and birth: Repeat cesarean is likely Placental accreta Pre-term labor and lower birthweight baby Placental abruption Placenta previa Ectopic pregnancy Increased risk of uterine rupture http://www.babycenter.com/2_live-birth-c-section-surgery_3656510.bc
