Study Notes

Labour and Birth

Labour can last from a few hours to a day or more.
The first sign of labour is abdominal pain due to uterine contractions and relaxation.
Contractions gradually increase in strength, pain, and frequency as labour progresses.
Regular contractions with short intervals indicate approaching birth.
Cervix dilates, relaxes, and widens, causing the amniotic sac to burst, and the baby passes through the cervix.
The baby's head usually emerges first, followed by the rest of the body, which may take from 10 minutes to a few hours.
After birth, the umbilical cord is cut and tied.
The placenta is expelled from the mother shortly after birth, known as the afterbirth.
