Theories for the Onset of Labor
• Maternal factors– Estrogen and progesterone– Prostaglandins– Oxytocin
• Fetal factors– Fetal adrenocorticotropic hormone

Fetal Factors Affecting the Process of Labor
• Head size– Molding
• Presentation– Cephalic, breech,
shoulder• Lie
– Longitudinal, oblique, transverse
• Attitude– Flexion
• Position
Fetal attitude flexion, fetal lie longitudinal
Fetal attitude flexion, fetal lie transverse

Factors Affecting Labor Progress
– The birth passageway (birth canal)– The passenger (fetus)– The physiologic forces of labor– The position of the mother– The woman’s psychosocial considerations

Physiology of Labor
• Primary force is uterine muscular contractions • Secondary force is pushing during the second
stage of labor

Causes ofCervical Effacement
• Estrogen - Stimulates uterine muscle contractions
• Collagen fibers in the cervix are broken down • Increase in the water content of the cervix
![Page 17: NURS 1400 Unit 2. Theories for the Onset of Labor Maternal factors – Estrogen and progesterone – Prostaglandins – Oxytocin Fetal factors – Fetal adrenocorticotropic.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d2d5503460f94a04101/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Cervical Effacement
• Physiologic retraction ring• Upper uterine segment thickens and pulls up• Lower segment expands and thins out• Effacement
![Page 18: NURS 1400 Unit 2. Theories for the Onset of Labor Maternal factors – Estrogen and progesterone – Prostaglandins – Oxytocin Fetal factors – Fetal adrenocorticotropic.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d2d5503460f94a04101/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Figure 22–10 Effacement of the cervix in the primigravida. A, At the beginning of labor, there is no cervical effacement or dilatation. The fetal head is cushioned by amniotic fluid. B, Beginning cervical effacement. As the cervix begins to efface, more amniotic fluid collects below the fetal head. C, Cervix is about one-half (50%) effaced and slightly dilated. The increasing amount of amniotic fluid below the fetal head exerts hydrostatic pressure on the cervix. D, Complete effacement and dilatation.

Leopold’s Maneuvers
• Is the fetal lie longitudinal or transverse?• What is in the fundus? Am I feeling buttocks or
head?• Where is the fetal back?• Where are the small parts or extremities?• What is in the inlet? Does it confirm what I found
in the fundus?• Is the presenting part engaged, floating, or dipping
into the inlet?

Stages of Labor
• First stage–onset of labor to complete dilation of the cervix– Latent phase (ends with cervix 3–4 cm dilated)– Active phase (3–4 cm to 8 cm dilated)– Transition (8–10 cm dilated)
• Second stage–complete dilation to birth• Third stage–birth to placental expulsion• Fourth stage–four hours following delivery of
the placenta

Palpation: Advantages
• Noninvasive • Readily accessible, requiring no equipment• Increases the “hands on” care of the patient • Allows the mother freedom
![Page 51: NURS 1400 Unit 2. Theories for the Onset of Labor Maternal factors – Estrogen and progesterone – Prostaglandins – Oxytocin Fetal factors – Fetal adrenocorticotropic.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d2d5503460f94a04101/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Palpation: Disadvantages
• Does not provide actual quantitative measure of uterine pressure
• No permanent record• Maternal size and positioning may prevent
direct palpation

• Outlet forceps• Midforceps• Breech forceps
![Page 155: NURS 1400 Unit 2. Theories for the Onset of Labor Maternal factors – Estrogen and progesterone – Prostaglandins – Oxytocin Fetal factors – Fetal adrenocorticotropic.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d2d5503460f94a04101/html5/thumbnails/155.jpg)
Figure 27–4 Forceps are composed of a blade, shank, and handle and may have a cephalic and pelvic curve. (Note labels on Piper and Tucker-McLean forceps.) The blades may be fenestrated (open) or solid. The front and lateral views of these forceps illustrate differences in blades, open and closed shanks, and cephalic and pelvic curves. Elliot, Simpson, and Tucker-McLean forceps are used as outlet forceps. Kielland and Barton forceps are used for midforceps rotations. Piper forceps are used to provide traction and flexion of the aftercoming head (the head comes after the body) of a fetus in breech presentation.

Vacuum Extraction Procedure
• Procedure– Suction cup placed on fetal occiput– Pump is used to create suction– Traction is applied– Fetal head should descend with each contraction
![Page 163: NURS 1400 Unit 2. Theories for the Onset of Labor Maternal factors – Estrogen and progesterone – Prostaglandins – Oxytocin Fetal factors – Fetal adrenocorticotropic.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d2d5503460f94a04101/html5/thumbnails/163.jpg)
Figure 27–6 Vacuum extractor traction. A, The cup is placed on the fetal occiput, creating suction. Traction is applied in a downward and outward direction. B, Traction continues in a downward direction as the fetal head begins to emerge from the vagina. C, Traction is maintained to lift the fetal head out of the vagina.
