A (+2) moulding of the fetal head indicates significant overlapping of the cranial bones, indicating a well-developed head.

Placenta separation commonly occurs through either the central or marginal separation, with the latter being more common.

The isthmus, or lower segment of the uterus, is the narrowed constriction of the uterus.

The true pelvis includes the pelvic inlet, pelvic cavity, and pelvic outlet.

The relationship between the long axis of the fetus and the long axis of the mother is known as the fetal lie.

The third stage of labor begins with placental separation and ends with placental expulsion.

Central separation is a common method of placental separation where the placenta separates from the center.

Normal vaginal delivery typically results in blood loss of around 500 ml, while cesarean birth can lead to blood loss of 1000 ml.

During pregnancy, the uterus expands in weight from 50 grams to around 1000 grams.

Women with a history of blood clots, stroke, or heart disease, those with breast cancer, and women experiencing severe liver problems.

The infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus, and intramural part. The infundibulum is the funnel-shaped opening near the ovary, the ampulla is the widest part, the isthmus is the narrowest part connecting the ampulla to the uterus, and the intramural part passes through the uterine wall.

The fundus, body, and cervix. The fundus is the dome-shaped upper part, the body is the central portion, and the cervix is the lower narrow portion connecting to the vagina.

Early detection of complications like gestational diabetes and preeclampsia, optimizing fetal growth and development, promoting a healthy pregnancy, empowering women with knowledge, and improving birth outcomes.

Increased pigmentation, such as chloasma (darkening of the face), linea nigra (a dark vertical line on the abdomen), and darkening of the areolae. Stretch marks on the abdomen, breasts, and thighs. Increased sweating and oil production. Hair growth changes.
