CASE DISCUSSION
Patient is 25 yrs old, G2P1 (1001), 39 weeks and 3 days AOG, with watery vaginal discharge,
painful uterine contractions every 8 minutes at 11:00 pm of night prior to consultation and
pain radiating from uterine fundus to the back. The contractions on the consulting day at
10:00 am was strong and frequency was every 5 minutes and the severity of the pain
increased. Patient was alert, ambulatory, gravid and uncomfortable with contractions.
Patient’s BP is 100/70 mmHg (normotensive), Heart rate – 98 bpm (normal), Respiratory
Rate – 18 breaths/min (normal), Temperature – 36.3’ C (normothermia), fundal height 34 cm
and fetal heart rate 140 bpm. Leopold’s Maneuver 1 – Breech, Leopold’s Maneuver 2 – Fetal
back, right maternal side, Leopold’s Maneuver 3 – cephalic, engaged, Leopold’s Maneuver 4
– not done, patient couldn’t tolerate pain. On pelvic examination at the time of admission
the Cervix was 5 cm dilated, 50% effaced, station -3, with ruptured bag of water, strong
uterine contractions occurring every 5 minutes lasting for 50 seconds and cephalic
presentation. After 2 hours and 30 minutes of admission there were same internal
examination findings and uterine contraction frequency and an intervention was done. After
5 hours and 30 miutes of admission the cervix 7 cm dilated, fully effaced, station -3, rbow,
contractions every 3 minutes lasting 60 seconds. After 7 hours and 30 minutes of admission
the cervix fully dilated, fully effaced, station +2. The patient was in active phase of labor at
the time of admission and the patient had protracted active phase dilatation and fetal
descent arrest in the labor progress. The patient was monitored anticipating for
spontaneous vaginal delivery.
NORMAL LABOR
A women with intact membrane ,cervical dilation of 3-4cm or greater is presumed to be a
reasonably reliable threshold for the diagnosis of labor.
First stage of labor-This stage starts when painful contractions become regular ( 5 minutes
apart for 1 hour) and ends with cervical dilatation.
Two types of cervical dilatation is defined by Freedman, Latent phase (preparatory division) and
active phase-(functional division)
Latent phase- The latent phase for most women ends once dilation of 3-5 cm is
achieved. More recently, a consensus committee of American college of obstetricians and
gynecologists and society for maternal fetal medicine (2016c) has redefined active labor to
begin at 6 cm cervical dilatation.
Active phase- The threshold for active labor is defined as cervical dilation of 3 to 6 cm
or more ,in the presence of uterine contractions.
Second stage of labor- This stage begins with complete cervical dilation and ends with fetal
delivery. The median duration is approximately 50 minutes for nulliparas and about 20 mins for
multiparas but it is highly variable.
Third stage of labor- This stage begins immediately after fetal delivery and involves
separation and expulsion of the placenta and membranes.
