Study Notes
Placenta Presentation
-
Placenta can present in two ways: Schultze presentation (80% of cases) & Duncan presentation
-
Schultze Presentation: Placenta separates at the center first, folding like an umbrella, presenting the fetal surface at the vaginal opening.
-
Duncan Presentation: Placenta separates at the edges, presenting the maternal surface at the vaginal opening.
Maternal Responses to Labor
-
Physiological effects of labor include changes in cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary, and gastrointestinal systems.
-
Fear and anxiety can be heightened during labor due to the unpredictable nature of the process.
-
Cultural factors can influence a woman's experience of labor and how she expresses her feelings.
Perineal Cleaning and Birth Room Prep
-
Cleaning the perineum before delivery removes secretions and prepares the area for a cleaner birth.
-
Birthing rooms should be prepared with sterile supplies when the cervix is dilated to 9-10cm for multiparas and when the head is crowned for primiparas.
Fourth Stage of Labor
-
The fourth stage of labor is the postpartum period and involves the following key aspects:
-
Placenta Delivery – Should be delivered spontaneously, but can be removed manually.
-
Oxytocin Administration – Given to help contract the uterus and reduce bleeding.
-
Perineal Repair – If necessary, repairs are done to any tears or lacerations.
-
Immediate Postpartum Assessment – Includes monitoring vital signs, assessing the fundus, and observing lochia.
-
Nursing Care – This includes providing perineal care, offering clean gowns and blankets, and addressing potential chills or shaking.
