Q

women who have never had a baby before, what is the normal delivery time?

A

12-18 hours

17
Q

what is normal delivery time of labour in women who have had babies before?

A

6-8 hour

18
Q

what physiological processes can resemble labour?

A
  1. prelabour ruptured membranes
  2. Braxton Hicks - contractions but not contractions strong enough to be labour
  3. Show - mucus plug that protects baby will be expelled before labour
19
Q

what brings about contractions intracellularly?

A

increase in intracellular free calcium

this is caused by

  • oxytocin
  • prostaglandins
20
Q
  1. how many stages of labour are there?

2. describe them

A
  1. 3
    • first stage: from start of regular contractions till the cervix is fully dilated

second part is from full dilation of cervix to delivery of fetus

third stage is from delivery of fetus to the delivery of the placenta and then umbilical cord

21
Q

how many contractions are needed to labour effectively

A

in order to labour effectively - 4 strong contractions lasting at least 40 seconds in 40 seconds.

22
Q

what are some indications for inducing labour?

A 
if safer for baby and mother 
 PET
post dates (7 days over term)
diabetes (increased baby size and high risk of still-birth), cardiovascular problems
changes to medications
fetal reasons (growth concerns)
23
Q

how do you induce labour

A

give prostaglandins for ripening of cervix
amniotomy to rupture membrane
oxytocin will induce contractions and strengthen them

24
Q

when might it not be advised to induce labour?

A
  1. obstruction
  2. malpresentation (oblique)
  3. cardiac conditions (but will probably be discussed prior with GP)
  4. history of uterine rupture (may not be able to support baby)
25
Q

how long should the third stage of delivery last (safely)

A

an hour

26
Q

what is PPH (postpartum haemorrhage)

A

blood loss following delivery of 500ml up to 24 hours after birth
secondary is same but 6 weeks

27
Q

causes of postpartum haemorrhage

A
  1. coagulopathy
  2. traumatic tears - episiotomy etc
  3. uterine atony
  4. retained tissue or placenta - placenta praevia
  5. endometritis
