Study Notes
Labor Process in Nulliparous Women
- Effacement and dilatation are sequential processes in nulliparous women.
- During the latent phase, the cervix becomes fully effaced.
- Latent phase usually lasts between 6-8 hours.
Effacement and Dilatation
- Effacement is the process by which the cervix shortens and becomes thinner.
- During the active phase, cervical dilatation occurs typically at 1-2 cm per hour.
- Abnormal cervical dilatation is considered if it occurs at less than 1 cm per hour.
Labor Process in Multiparous Women
- Effacement and dilatation may occur simultaneously in multiparous women.
- The duration of the active phase usually lasts between 4-6 hours.
Key Facts
- Cervical dilatation during the active phase occurs typically at 1-2 cm per hour.
- Abnormal cervical dilatation is considered if it occurs at less than 1 cm per hour.
