Introduction
Pregnancy is defined as a gestational process of growth and development of anew individual within a woman. It begins with a process called fertilization. By which out
of millions of sperm cells ejaculated by a man only one has the chance to fertilize a
females egg cell.
Pregnancy is an integral component of human reproduction. For approximately
40 weeks, the still developing human being survives the fragile environment of the
uterus. The growth of the fetus requires utmost care on the part of the mother. Any
physical and emotional disturbance that affects the mother can have a great impact in
intrauterine development. Intrauterine development, therefore, is a dependent process.
Anything that affects the mother may adversely affect the development of the fetus.
In a country where fertility rate is higher compared to developed countries, it is
expected that the government cannot afford to deliver quality health services to majority
of its people who cannot pay for private health care. This is reflected in the policies of
state-run health care institutions. Mothers expected to deliver NSVD are confined to
birthing homes and those with complications are encouraged to deliver in the hospitals.
This strategy aims to manage the use of resources and to curb down mortality
rates. People are left with few options to choose from. With this problem in mind, it is
the duty of the nurse to be flexible at all times. In order to suit clients needs, the nurse
has to master the concepts of maternal and child health care so that by the hive
problems arise, the best solution is always chosen.
As future nurses, it is the responsibility of the proponents to acquaint themselves
in this field of nursing practice in order to function competently. In order to suit clients
needs, the nurse has to master the concepts of maternal and child health care so that

Labor is a series of events by which uterine contractions and abdominal pressure
expel a fetus and placenta from a pregnant woman. During pregnancy, the uterus
consists of a large number of greatly hypertrophied smooth cells. Each cell is activated
by a series of chemical reaction to begin regular contractions in a highly coordinated
manner and with such force that the cervix is dilated and the expulsion of the baby and
placenta occur. Several mechanisms are involved in initiating and maintaining the labor.
However the precise trigger of labor is unknown.
1. First Stage (Dilatation stage)
From the onset of first contraction through labor contractions to full cervical
dilatation. This stage averages about thirteen hours for a primipara and about eight
hours for multipara. It composed of 3 Phases: Latent Phase , Active Phase andTransition Phase.
2. Second Stage (Delivery stage)
The period from fully dilated cervix to the delivery or expulsion of the baby
3. Third Stage (Placental stage)
Begins in the delivery of the placenta
3 signs of placental expulsion:
1. Calkins sign
2. Sudden gush of the blood
3. Lengthening of the cord
4. Fourth Stage (Recovery stage)
8/3/2019 Case Study 203
5/38
When progesterone (uterine muscle relaxant) decrease in late pregnancy with
corresponding increase in estrogen (uterine muscle stimulant), labor starts.
2. Oxytocin Theory
The pressure of the fetal head on the cervix in late pregnancy stimulates the
posterior pituitary gland to secrete oxytocin which causes uterine contractions.
3. Estrogenic, Fetal Hormone and Prostaglandin Theory
All these have stimulating effect on uterine musculature causing uterine
motility.
4. Theory of the Aging Placenta
As the pressure matures, more and more pressure is exerted on the fundal
portion, the usual placental site and the most contractile portion of the uterus. It is
believed that the resultant diminished blood supply to the area causes contraction.
5. Uterine Stretch Theory
The most acceptable theory. As the uterine muscles get stretched with fetalgrowth and increasing amniotic fluid, irritability and contraction to empty the contents of
the uterus are likely results.
B. Components of Labor
1. Passageway refers to the adequacy of the womans pelvis and birth canal in
allowing fetal descent.
2. Passengerrefers to the fetus and its ability to move through the passageway.
3 Powers refers to frequency duration and strength of uterine contractions to
8/3/2019 Case Study 203
6/38
Mechanisms of Labor
1. Engagement
Refers to the setting of the presenting part of the fetus far enough into the pelvis
to be at the level of the ischial spine, a midpoint of the pelvis.
2. Descent
Is the downward movement of the biparietal diameter of the fetal head to withinthe pelvic inlet. Full descent occurs when the fetal head extrude beyond the dilated
cervix and touches the posterior vaginal floor. The pressure of the fetus on the sacral
nerves causes the mother to experience a pushing sensation. Descent occurs because
of the pressure on the fetus by the uterine fundus.
3. Flexion
As descent occurs, pressure form the pelvic floor causes the fetal head to bend
forward onto the chest. The smaller anteropostreior diameter (the suboccipitobregmatic
diameter) is the one presented to the birth canal in this flexed position. Flexion is aided
by abdominal muscle contraction during pushing.
4. Internal Rotation
During descent, the head enters the pelvis with the fetal anteroposterior head
diameter in a diagonal or transverse position the head flexes as it touches the pelvic
floor, and the occiput rotates until it is superior, or just below the symphysis pubis,
bringing the head into the best diameter for the outlet of the pelvis.
5. Extension
As the occiput is born, the back of the neck stops beneath the pubic arch and acts as a
8/3/2019 Case Study 203
7/38
after coming shoulders are thus brought into anteroposterior position, which is best for
entering the outlet. The anterior shoulder is born first, assisted perhaps by downward
flexion of infants head.
7. Expulsion
Once the shoulders are born, the rest of the baby is born easily and smoothly
because of its smaller size. This is expulsion and is the end of the pelvic division of
labor.
