within 30 minutes to get it out before cervix begins to close
done once placenta is delivered
start Pitocin

increase in WBC
effects of labor on respiratory system
increased rate like exercise
effects of labor on temp
slight increase
effects of labor on fluid
npo because of risk of aspiration if c section; lots of fluid loss

pain
psychological effects of labor
pain
fatigue
fear
fetal response to labor cardiovascular
reduced blood flow; if cannot compensate well, something is wrong
fetal response to labor integumentary
bruising or petticciae possible
fetal response to labor respiratory
*baby’s chest is squeezed during birth, clearing the lungs and signaling to baby that will have to breath on own
*c-section does not get the squeeze
measuring progress of labor
VS
pain
fetal HR
contraction freq
cervical dilation
rupture of membranes
if water breaks in hospital
immediately check fetal HR because umbilical cord can come out through vagina (cord prolapse) causing fetal HR to drop
