Study Notes

Labor and Delivery

Intrapartum period: The time from onset of labor to birth of the baby.
Labor (Parturition) Delivery: The process by which the fetus, placenta, and membranes are expelled from the uterus.

Theories of Labor Onset

Uterine Stretch Theory: Labor begins when the uterus is stretched by the growing fetus, stimulating contractions.
Oxytocin Stimulation Theory: The posterior pituitary gland secretes oxytocin in response to fetal movement and cervical dilatation, stimulating uterine contractions.
Progesterone Deprivation Theory: Uterine contractions are caused by a drop in progesterone levels, allowing estrogen to stimulate contractions.
