Placenta:
Maternal
Fetal
M: decidua basalis, red, flesh like
F: chorionic villi, shiny, gray
Umbilical
1 vein
2 arteries
Wharton's Jelly
connective tissue that surrounds umbilical cord to prevent compression
Amniotic Fluid
protects embryo from unjury
permits symmetrical growth and development
prevents adherence of fetus and cord compression
Increases fetal extracellular space
thermoregulation
First stage phases
Latent
Active
Transition
Latent Phase
0-3 cm
baby is high
Active Phse
4-7
effacement begins
Contractions are 2-3 min apart for 1 min
Transition Phase
8-10 cm
100% effacement
frequent and strong contractions
Second Stage
Pushing
Complete dilation and effacement.
Contractions every 1.5-2 min. for 60-90 seconds.
Third Stage
Delivery of baby and placenta.
4 P's
Passenger
Passageway
Presentation
Psyche
Vertex
head is down
Breach
bottom/legs down
Transverse
perpendicular to mom
Oblique
slanted from mom
Presentation
part of baby entering the pelvis first.
Occiput
head
Sacrum
back
Mentum
chin
Acromion process
shoulder
Engagement
presenting part stuck in inlet, no movement
Ballotable
presenting part is beginning to engage in pelvic inlet
Floating
not in pelvis yet
Station
measurement of engagement in relation to ischial spines
Gynecoid
round
Anthropoid
egg shaped
25% of women
Primary contractions
involuntary
Secondary contractions
voluntary aka pushing
Frequency of contraction
start to start
Duration of contraction
length of contraction
Intensity of contraction
strength @ peak
Fetal bradycardia
<110 bpm
d/t contractions, meds, squished head, hypoxia
Fetal tachycardia
>160 bpm
d/t fetal distress, maternal temp, meds, early stages of hypoxia
Variable deceleration of FHR
Near top of contraction
d/t cord compression
Early deceleration
At or before the top of contraction
d/t head compression
reassuring
Late decelration of FHR
After contraction
d/t utero-placental deficiency
fetus lacks proper oxygen
Give O2
Call Dr.
Maternal position on L side, hydration, dc any meds that might effect FHR, VS (possible hypotension)
Fetal blood sample.
Prolonged decelration of FHR
longer than 2 minutes
vaginal examination - prolapsed cord.
reposition mother
Ruptured membranes
Asses FHR, fluid, cord, fetal head.
Maternal VS
135/85 bp
60-90 bpm
16-24 resp.
95% PO2
36.2-37.6 temp.
FHR
120-160
110, sleeping
180, crying
Epidural S&S
vasodilation
decreased BP maternal and fetal
decreased FHR

decreased mom's ability to push, making stage 2 longer.

VS and sensation check q5m
Pitocin
Check vitals, baby condition (gestation, NST, FHR 30min.), position, presenting part, engagement, bishops score.

Monitor, hyperstimulation of uterus (titonic contractions)

Risks, uterine rupture, water intoxication, fetal hypoxia and fetal death.

During check, maternal VS, contraction status, FHR, I&O

Discontinue if: non-reassuring FHR, contractions <2min, duration >60 seconds
Bishop's Score
Cervix's readyness for labor
Crowning
Fetal head is encircled by the external opening of the vagina.
Birth is inminent.
Baseline of FHR
what heart rate is equal to after 10 min
# heart rate is centered around
Variability of FHR
shows how baby is responding to environment
amount of “wiggle” in the line.
Accelrations fo FHR
Baby movement
ROM nursing interventions
Immediately asses FHR and check for proplapse of umbilical cord.
Fetal risks of a prolapsed cord
decreased blood flow.
labor can increase compression.
with no relief the fetus will die.
Nursing care for a prolapsed cord
Mother is kept horizontal, w/O2. Knee chest position is also appropriate.
FHR.
pressure on fetal head is necessary to relieve pressure on cord.
assessments during latent phase
q30m: contractions
q1h: BP, respirations, FHR
q4h: temp
misoprostol
tablet inserted vagianally to induce labor. @risk for uterine rupture.
Administration of Pitocin for induction
should achieve contractions q2-3m lasting 40-60 seconds
Uterus should relax to full resting tone baseline between contractions.
assessment during transition phase
q15m: contractions
q30m: BP, pulse, resp, FHR
assessments during active phase
q15-30: contractions, FHR
q1h: BP, pulse, respirations
