TERMS OF PREGNANCY AND DELIVERY

EPIDURAL : An epidural block is a numbing medicine given by injection (shot) in the back.

It numbs or causes a loss of feeling in the lower half of your body. This lessens the pain of
contractions during childbirth. An epidural block may also be used to reduce pain during
surgery on the lower extremities.

Antepartum

The antepartum period (from Latin ante "before" and parere "to give birth") is literally the
same as the prenatal (from Latin pre "before" and nasci "birth"). Antepartum usually refers to
the gestation period between 24-26 weeks of gestation and delivery.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy is defined as pregnancy which is also known as gravidity, is the time during which
one or more offspring develop in a woman. It usually lasts about 40 weeks (10 lunar months)
from the last menstrual period and ends at delivery.

Prenatal Antenatal

Antenatal prenatal period is the period of fetal development, the process by which a human
embryo or fetus occurs during pregnancy, from conception to birth.

Preterm

Preterm is a preterm birth, the birth of a baby less than 37 weeks of gestation.

Postterm

Postterm or postmaturity is the condition of the unborn baby after 42 weeks of gestation.

Childbirth Labor Delivery Partus

Childbirth or childbirth, also known as labor, delivery, birth, parturition, or parturition, is the
peak of the pregnancy period with the release of one or more babies born from the woman's
womb.

Breech Presentation

Conditions when the fetus is not in the right position before the day of delivery, for example
the position of the baby's head which should be in the lower part of the uterus, is still up, or
the position of the baby's bottom is in the birth canal (frank breech), or one or both feet are in
the birth canal.
. Cephalopelvic Disproportion (CPD)

The baby is too large to pass safely through the mother's pelvis.

Cervidile

Medicines used to ripen the cervix before induction.

Caesar

One method of delivery in which the doctor will make an incision in the abdominal wall and
uterus to expel the baby. A caesarean is also often called an abdominal delivery or C-section.

Colostrum

It is a white, watery discharge that comes out of the breasts in the early stages of breast milk
production. Colostrum usually comes out during the last few weeks of pregnancy.

Complete Breech (Complete Breech)

Breech condition with the baby's buttocks and legs facing the birth canal and with bent knees.
This condition makes normal delivery more difficult or impossible at all.

Contractions

A condition in which the uterus regularly tightens or tightens which usually causes the cervix
to dilate and allows the baby to pass.

Amniotic Fluids

This protective fluid contains mostly fetal urine and water. This fluid fills the pouch that
surrounds the fetus.

APGAR

An assessment given by a doctor or midwife to each newborn. APGAR's assessment is based

on appearance (baby's body color), heart rate, baby's reflexes such as grimace, activity
(muscle tone) and breathing. Scores range from 1 to 10, and are taken at 1 and 5 minutes after
birth

Crown (crowning)

The condition when the baby's head has passed through the birth canal and the top (crown) is
visible from the vaginal opening that continues to widen.

Dilation

The extent to which the cervix has opened in preparation for delivery. Dilation of the cervix
or cervix is measured in centimeters with the maximum size (full dilation) is 10 centimeters.
 Effacement

It refers to thinning of the cervix in preparation for birth and is expressed in presentation. The
cervix must be 100 percent open or completely thin before a normal delivery.

Engaged

The condition when the baby's presenting part (usually the head) has entered the pelvic cavity
which usually occurs during the last month of pregnancy.

Fetal Distress

A condition when the baby doesn't receive enough oxygen or has some other complications.

Fontanelle

Also known as the crown, the fontanel is the unused soft spot between the top and back of a
baby's head. The fontanelle allows the baby's head to be slightly compressed during labor to
pass through the birth canal.

Forceps

An instrument shaped like a pair of large spoons that can be used to help remove the baby's
head from the birth canal during labor.

Induced Labor

Labor initiated or accelerated with interventions, such as applying prostaglandin gel to the
cervix, injecting IV infusion of the hormone oxytocin (Pitocin), or by tearing the membrane.
