Study Notes
Precipitate Labor
- Precipitate labor in a primipara is defined as cervical dilatation at a rate of 8 cm or more per hour.
- Precipitate birth occurs when uterine contractions are so strong that a woman gives birth with only a few, rapidly occurring contractions.
- Rapid labor is likely to occur with grand multiparity or after induction of labor by oxytocin.
Complications of Precipitate Labor
- Forceful contractions during precipitate labor can lead to premature separation of the placenta or lacerations of the perineum.
- Rapid labor can lead to complications, including premature separation of the placenta or lacerations of the perineum.
Risk Factors for Precipitate Labor
- A potential risk factor for rapid labor is grand multiparity.
- Induction of labor by oxytocin can also increase the risk of precipitate labor.
Definition of Precipitate Labor in Multipara
- Precipitate labor in a multipara is not defined by a specific rate of cervical dilatation, unlike in primipara.
