1. Passenger (fetus)
a. Fetal Head: Largest part of the newborns body – representing ¼ of newborns
length.
b. Bones:
Sphenoid
Ethmoid
Temporal
Frontal Sinciput
Occipital or Occiput
Parietal
c. Suture Lines
Sagittal – connect 2 parietal bones
Coronal – connects parietal and frontal bones

Molding – the overlapping of sutures of the skull to permit passage
The latent stage starts at the onset of regularly perceived uterine contractions and ends when
rapid cervical dilation begins. This is also called the “preparatory phase”.
Contractions Duration of Cervical Dilation Duration
Contractions
Mild and short 20 to 40 seconds 0-3 cm Nullipara: 6
hoursMultipara: 4.5
5-30 mins hours
Nursing Considerations
Woman with a “non-ripe” cervix will have a longer than usual latent phase
Analgesia given too early during this period may prolong this phase
Woman who is psychologically prepared for labor only have minimal discomfort
Best time to reinforce health teachings
Assist woman to cope with contractions.
Help in concentrating on breathing techniques.
Active Phase
During the active phase, cervical dilatation occurs more rapidly and contractions grow stronger.
Contractions Duration of Cervical Dilation Duration
Contractions
Stronger, longer and 40 to 60 seconds 4 to 7 cm Nullipara: 3
causes true every 3 to 5 minutes hoursMultipara: 2
discomfort hours
Nursing Considerations:
It is an exciting time because a woman realizes something dramatic is happening
Administration of analgesic at this point has little effect on the progress of labor
Show and spontaneous rupture of membranes occur during this time
Transition Phase
During this phase, the contractions reach their peak intensity, cervix to maximum dilatation and
to full effacement.
Contractions Duration of Cervical Dilation Duration
Contractions
At peak intensity 60 to 90 seconds 8 to 10 cm Until full cervical
every 2-3 minutes dilation
Nursing Considerations:
If membranes have not previously ruptured or been ruptured by amniotomy, they will
rupture as a rule at full dilation.
Both full dilation and cervical effacement have occurred at this stage
Woman may have intense discomfort and may be accompanied by nausea and
vomiting.
Woman may experience a feeling of loss of control, anxiety, panic or irritability.
Her focus is on the entirety of delivering her baby.
This stage ends at 10 cm of dilatation and feels a new sensation (i.e., irresistible urge
to push).
II. Second Stage
The second stage starts from full dilatation and cervical effacement to birth of the infant;
with uncomplicated birth, this stage takes about 1 hour. Contractions change to an
overwhelming, uncontrollable urge to push or bear down with each contraction as if to move her
bowels.
Patient may experience nausea and vomiting at this point.
Effacement is shortening and thinning of the cervical canal. Normally, the canal is
approximately 1 to 2 cm long.
Dilatation refers to the enlargement or widening of the cervical canal from an opening a
few millimeters wide to one large enough (approximately 10 cm) to permit passage of a
fetus
The circle enlarges from the size of a dime, then a quarter, then a half-dollar. This is
called crowning.
The fetal head touches the internal side of the perineum; the perineum begins to bulge and
appears tense. The anus may become everted and stool may be expelled.
As the fetal head pushes against the perineum, the vaginal introitus opens and the fetal scalp
appears at the opening to the vagina. At first, it appears slit-like then becomes oval and then
circular. This is called crowning.
All of her energy and her thoughts are being directed towards giving birth. As she pushes, using
her abdominal muscles to aid the involuntary uterine contractions, the fetus is pushed out of the
birth canal.
III. Stage 3
A. Care of the Baby
Clear airway of mucus
Observe frequently and use APGAR scoring to determine respiratory effort and
physical status
Keep thermoregulated
Assess for visible abnormalities
Administer antibiotic ophthalmic medication into each eyes to prevent ophthalmia
neonatorum
IV. Stage 4:
A. Monitor vital signs. Blood pressure and pulse rate maybe slightly increased from
excitement and effort of delivery but normalizes within one hour
B. Immediately after delivery, it is palpable between umbilicus and symphysis pubis; two
hours after delivery, the fundus is at the same height with umbilicus
C. Palpate fundus every 15 minutes for firmness and height in relation to umbilicus; if
relaxed and dextroverted
Check for bladder distention; determine voiding pattern; a full bladder can lead to
uterine atony leading hemorrhage
* Assessment
*Nursing Diagnosis
Nursing diagnoses during the postpartal period usually are concerned either with a
family’s inability to accept and bond with a new child or with physiologic considerations.
Examples might include:
• Risk for impaired parenting related to disappointment in the sex of the child
Be certain that outcomes established during this time are realistic in light of a woman’s
changed life pattern. Most postpartal families remain in the hospital for a relatively short time,
only 48 to 72 hours. The postpartum stay in an alternative birth center can be as short as 4
hours. That means outcomes must be devised that can be accomplished and evaluated during
this short period of client contact. If an outcome cannot be evaluated within this short timeframe,
follow-up home care or ambulatory visits may be necessary. When planning care in the
postpartal period, try to arrange procedures to allow optimal time for family infant–interaction
and yet provide adequate time for a woman to rest, to prevent exhaustion. Prevention of
exhaustion can improve coping ability and plans for self-care. After adequate instruction, a
woman should be prepared to monitor her own health after she returns home. Planning should
also include ample time for health teaching. An important part of teaching related to care of the
newborn is preparation for the unexpected and the need for flexibility, because parents do not
yet know what their new life will be like (whether their child will sleep deeply or fitfully at night,
whether their child will become hungry at long or short intervals) or how tired they will become
after being awakened frequently during the night.
*Implementation
All interventions in the postpartal period should be family centered, to enhance family
functioning and bonding. Interventions also should be geared toward increasing a woman’s self-
esteem and allowing her to view herself as a new mother and her new infant as part of her
family. Teaching new mothers is important, but it is also important to explore what they already
know about child care and what they think would be a sensible solution to a problem. Giving
advice only solves an immediate problem; helping a woman learn good problem-solving
technique improves her ability to handle the many challenges that will arise with childrearing.
*Outcome Evaluation
If a woman fails to make an adequate adjustment to her new life changes, she may have
difficulty integrating an infant into the family. This could affect a child’s mental health, self-
esteem, and ability to form a sense of trust. Evaluation in the postpartal period involves being
certain not only that a woman and her baby are safe but also that the woman knows how to
maintain her own health. Such follow-up evaluation can be done by telephone, during home
visits, or during postpartal and well-child assessments.
Examples of expected outcomes include:
• Parents spontaneously make at least one positive comment about their child’s
characteristics before hospital discharge.
• Client states that she believes she will be able to manage newborn care with
the support of her significant other.
• Client’s lochial flow is no more than one saturated perineal pad (50 mL) every 3
hours. • Client states she is tired but feels able to manage her newborn and
family care.
Psychological Changes of the Postpartal Period
A. Taking in-phase
It is a time of reflection
Woman is passive during 2-3 day period
She prefer the nurse to minister her because of physical discomfort of after pains,
hemorrhoids and partly from her uncertainty in caring for her newborn and from
exhaustion that follows childbirth
Usually a woman wants to talk about her pregnancy.
B. Taking-Hold Phase
Woman begin to initiate actions and decision and become independent
Last from 3rd to 10th day postpartum
Woman begins to take strong interest on how to take care of her child and sometimes
she may feel insecurities about her ability to take care of her own child
Mothers needs praise for the things she does on supporting her baby to give her more
confidence
This phase must not be rush or prevent because this is the most difficult phase of
motherhood.
C. Letting-Go Phase
Woman redefines her new role
Last for 10 days to 6 weeks postpartum
She gives up her old role of being childless or the mother of only one or two
This process requires some grief work and readjustment because It is extended and
continuous.
Claiming or Bonding - Mother begins to express more warmth and touch to her child
She begins to play with her child and become more comfortable
En Face position - Mother is directly looking at her newborn’s face with direct eye contact
Engrossment – it is term how actively the parents are bonding with the newborn
Rooming-In
Infants stays in the room with her mother to become more acquianted and to feel more
confident about her ability to care for the newborn
2 Types of Rooming-IN
Partial – infant stats with the mother for such time and return to a central nursery
Sibling Visitation
Siblings get the feeling of separation if a mother is gives birth to a new child they feel
their mother cares for the new child and not them.
Taking the sibling to the hospital is helpful for the sibling to see her mother and the
newborn reduces the feeling that their mother cares more about the newborn than them.
Abandonment
Women can get jealous about her own baby and feel abandonment because people only
talk about the newborn and as if she was less important
Examination of competitive feelings for both mother and father involve some
compromise in favor of baby’s interest and should start during the start of pregnancy or
early in postpartal period.
Disappointment
Common feelings of the parents when they experience that their expectation from the
was not achieved
They may felt unattractive and the feeling of inadequacy all over again
Nurse can help by comment on child’s good points during the period of crisis and also
support them to accept the situation to cope with new circumstances
