- FIG 12-4 Pelvic divisions and measurements.
- MIDPELVIS The midpelvis, or pelvic cavity, is the narrowest part of the pelvis through which the fetus must pass during birth. Midpelvic diameters are measured at the level of the ischial spines. The anteroposterior diameter averages 12 cm. The transverse diameter (bispinous or interspinous) averages 10.5 cm. Prominent ischial spines that project into the midpelvis can reduce the bispinous diameter.
- OUTLET Three important diameters of the pelvic outlet are (1) the anteroposterior, (2) the transverse (bi-ischial or intertuberous), and (3) the posterior sagittal. The angle of the pubic arch also is an important pelvic outlet measure. The anteroposterior diameter ranges from 9.5 to 11.5 cm, varying with the curve between the sacrococcygeal joint and the tip of the coccyx. The anteroposterior diameter can increase if the coccyx is easily movable. The transverse diameter is the bi-ischial, or intertuberous, diameter. This is the distance between the ischial tuberosities (“sit bones”). It averages 11 cm. The posterior sagittal diameter is normally at least 7.5 cm. It is a measure of the posterior pelvis. The posterior sagittal diameter measures the distance from the sacrococcygeal joint to the middle of the transverse (bi-ischial) diameter. The angle of the pubic arch is important because it must be wide enough for the fetus to pass under it. The angle of the pubic arch should be at least 90 degrees. A narrow pubic arch displaces the fetus posteriorly toward the coccyx as it tries to pass under the arch.

- Stages and Phases of Labor
- First Stage
- FIG 12-12 Mechanisms (cardinal movements) of labor.
- Descent of the fetus is a mechanism of labor that accompanies all the others. Without descent, none of the mechanisms will occur. Station
- Station is a measurement of the descent of the fetal presenting part in relation to the level of the ischial spines of the maternal pelvis. The level of the ischial spines is a zero station. Other stations are described with numbers representing the approximate number of centimeters above (negative numbers) or below (positive numbers) the ischial spines. As the fetus descends through the pelvis, the station changes from higher negative numbers (–3, –2, –1) to zero to higher positive numbers (+1, +2, +3, etc.). Sometimes the terms floating or ballotable may describe a fetal presenting part that is so high that it is easily displaced upward during abdominal or vaginal examination, similar to tossing a ball upward. Engagement Engagement occurs when the largest diameter of the fetal presenting part (normally the head) has passed the pelvic inlet and entered the pelvic cavity. Engagement is presumed to have occurred when the station of the presenting part is zero or lower. Engagement often takes place before onset of labor in nulliparous women. In many parous women and in some nulliparas, it does not occur until after labor begins. Flexion As the fetus descends, the fetal head is flexed farther as it meets resistance from the soft tissues of the pelvis. Head flexion presents the smallest anteroposterior diameter (suboccipitobregmatic) to the pelvis. Internal Rotation
- The fetus enters the pelvic inlet with the sagittal suture in a transverse or oblique orientation to the maternal pelvis because that is the widest inlet diameter. Internal rotation allows the longest fetal head diameter (the anteroposterior) to conform to the longest diameter of the maternal pelvis. The longest pelvic outlet diameter is the anteroposterior. As the head descends to the level of the ischial spines, it gradually turns so that the fetal occiput is in the anterior of the pelvis (OA position, directly under the maternal symphysis pubis). When internal rotation is complete, the sagittal suture is oriented in the anteroposterior pelvic diameter (OA). Less commonly, the head may turn posteriorly so that the occiput is directed toward the mother’s sacrum (OP). EXTENSION
- Because the true pelvis is shaped like a curved cylinder, the fetal face is directed posteriorly toward the rectum as it begins its rotation and descent. To negotiate the curve of the pelvis, the fetal head must change from an attitude of flexion to one of extension. While still in flexion, the fetal head meets resistance from the tissues of the pelvic floor. At the same time, the fetal neck stops under the symphysis, which acts as a pivot. The combination of resistance from the pelvic floor and the pivoting action of the symphysis causes the fetal head to swing anteriorly, or extend, with each maternal pushing effort. The head is born in extension, with the occiput sliding under the symphysis and the face directed toward the rectum. The fetal brow, nose, and chin slide over the perineum as the head is born. EXTERNAL ROTATION
- When the head is born with the occiput directed anteriorly, the shoulders must rotate internally so that they align with the anteroposterior diameter of the pelvis. After the head is born, it spontaneously turns to the same side as it was in utero as it realigns with the shoulders and back (through a process called restitution). The head then turns farther to that side in external rotation as the shoulders internally rotate and are positioned with their transverse diameter in the anteroposterior diameter of the pelvic outlet. External rotation of the head accompanies internal rotation of the shoulders. EXPULSION Expulsion occurs first as the anterior, then the posterior, shoulder passes under the symphysis. After the shoulders are born, the rest of body follows.

- Sitting UprightAdvantagesUses gravity to aid fetal descent.Can be done when sitting on side of bed, in a chair, or on the toilet.Can be used with continuous fetal monitoring. Avoids supine hypotension.DisadvantagesMay increase suprapubic discomfort.Contractions are the most efficient when the woman alternates sitting with other positions.Nursing ImplicationsA rocking chair is soothing.Place a pillow on a chair with a disposable underpad over the pillow to absorb secretions.Use pillows or a footstool to keep a short woman’s legs from dangling.Encourage the woman to alternate positions periodically. For example, she can alternate walking with sitting or sitting with side-lying.
- Sitting, Leaning Forward with Support Advantages Same as for sitting. Reduces back pain because fetus falls forward, away from sacral promontory. Partner or nurse can rub back or provide sacral pressure to relieve back pain. Disadvantages Same as for sitting. Nursing Implications Same as for sitting.
- SemisittingAdvantagesSame as for sitting. Aligns long axis of uterus with pelvic inlet, which applies contraction force in the most efficient direction through pelvis.DisadvantagesSame as for sitting. Does not reduce pain as well as the forward-leaning positions.Nursing ImplicationsSame as for sitting. Raise bed to about a 30- to 45-degree angle. Encourage the woman to use sitting (leaning forward) or side-lying position if she has back pain so that the caregiver can rub her back or apply sacral pressure.
- Side-LyingAdvantagesIt is a restful position. Prevents supine hypotension and promotes placental blood flow. Promotes efficient contractions, although they may be less frequent than with other positions. Can be used with continuous fetal monitoring.DisadvantagesDoes not use gravity to aid fetal descent.Nursing ImplicationsTeach the woman and her partner that although the contractions are less frequent, they are more effective. This position offers a break from more tiring positions. Use pillows for support and to prevent pressure: at her back, under her superior arm, and between her knees. Use disposable underpads to protect the pillow between the woman’s knees from secretions. Some women like to put their superior leg on the bed rail. If the woman wants this variation, pad the bed rail with a blanket to prevent pressure. If she wants to remain recumbent, she should use this position to promote placental blood flow.
- Kneeling, Leaning Forward with SupportAdvantagesReduces back pain because fetus falls forward, away from sacral promontory. Adds gravity to force of contractions to promote fetal descent. Can be used with continuous fetal monitoring. Caregivers can rub her back or apply sacral pressure. Promotes normal mechanisms of birth.DisadvantagesKnees may become tired or uncomfortable. Tiring if used for long periods.Nursing ImplicationsRaise the head of the bed, and have the woman face the head of the bed while she is on her knees. Another method is for the partner to sit in a chair, with the woman kneeling in front, facing her partner, and leaning forward on him or her for support. Use pillow under the knees and in front of the woman’s chest, as needed, for comfort. Encourage her to change positions if she becomes tired.
- POSITIONS FOR PUSHING IN SECOND STAGEHands and KneesAdvantagesReduces back pain because the fetus falls forward, away from the sacral promontory. Promotes normal mechanisms of birth. The woman can use pelvic rocking to decrease back pain. Caregivers can rub the woman’s back or apply sacral pressure easily.DisadvantagesThe woman’s hands (especially wrists) and knees can become uncomfortable. Tiring when used for a long time. Some women are embarrassed to use this position.Nursing ImplicationsEncourage the woman to change to less tiring positions occasionally. Ensure privacy when encouraging the reluctant woman to try this position if she has back pain. A second hospital gown with the opening in front covers her back and hips but may be too warm. A variation is for the mother to kneel and lean forward against a beanbag or the side of the bed. This variation reduces some of the strain of wrists and hands.StandingThis position may be tiring, and access to the woman’s perineum is difficult. Because the infant could fall to the ground if birth occurs rapidly, provide padding under the mother’s feet. Gravity aids fetal descent.Hands and KneesAdvantages and disadvantages are similar to those during first stage labor. In addition, caregivers must reorient themselves because the landmarks are upside down from their usual perspective.
- SquattingAdvantagesAdds gravity to force of contractions to promote fetal descent. Straightens the pelvic curve slightly for more direct fetal descent. Increases dimensions of pelvis slightly. Promotes effective pushing efforts in the second stage. Caregivers can rub back or provide sacral pressure.DisadvantagesKnees and hips may become uncomfortable because of prolonged flexion. Tiring over a long time.Nursing ImplicationsProvide support with a squat bar attached to the bed or by two people standing on each side of the woman. If she becomes tired, or between contractions, she can lean back into the sitting position. Variation: Have the woman squat beside the bed as she pushes.
- Semisitting Many women prefer this because they have the security of a back rest; it is also familiar to caregivers and allows easy observation of the perineum. Elevate the woman’s back at least 30 to 45 degrees so that gravity aids fetal descent. The woman pulls on her flexed knees (behind or in front of them) as she pushes. She should keep her head flexed and her back in a “C” curve.
- Side-Lying The woman flexes her chin on her chest and curls around her uterus as she pushes. She pulls on her flexed knees or the knee of the superior leg as she pushes.

- B, Ritgen Maneuver. Pressure is applied to the fetal chin through the perineum at the same time pressure is applied to the occiput of the fetal head. This action aids the mechanism of extension as the fetal head comes under the symphysis.
- C, Birth of the Head. As the head emerges, the attendant prepares to suction the nose and mouth to avoid aspiration of secretions when the infant takes the first breath.
- D, Restitution and External Rotation. After the head emerges, it realigns with the shoulders (restitution). External rotation occurs as the fetal shoulders internally rotate, aligning their transverse diameter with the anteroposterior diameter of the pelvic outlet.
- E, Birth of the Anterior Shoulder. The attendant gently pushes the fetal head toward the woman’s perineum to allow the anterior shoulder to slip under her symphysis. The bluish skin color of the fetus is normal at this point; it becomes pink as the infant begins air breathing.
- F, Birth of the Posterior Shoulder. The attendant now pushes the fetal head upward toward the woman’s symphysis to allow the posterior shoulder to slip over her perineum.
- G, Completion of the Birth. The attendant supports the fetus during expulsion. Note that the fetus has excellent muscle tone, as evidenced by facial grimacing and flexion of the arms and hands.
- H, Cord Clamping. While the infant is in skin-to-skin contact on the mother’s abdomen, the attendant doubly clamps the umbilical cord. The cord is then cut between the two clamps. Samples of cord blood are collected after it is cut.
- I, Birth of the Placenta. The attendant applies gentle traction on the cord to aid expulsion of the placenta. This placenta is expelled in the more common Schultze mechanism, with the shiny fetal surface and membranes emerging. Note the fetal membranes that surrounded the fetus and amniotic fluid during pregnancy. The chorionic vessels that branch from the umbilical cord are readily visible on the fetal surface of the placenta.

- FIG 14-8 Electronic Fetal Monitor Strip Showing a Reassuring Pattern of Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) and Uterine Activity. The FHR baseline is 130 to 140 beats per minute (bpm); variability is about 10 bpm. There are no periodic changes in this strip. Contraction frequency is every 2 to 3 minutes, duration is about 50 to 60 seconds, intensity is 75 to 90 mm Hg with the internal spiral electrode, and uterine resting tone is approximately 10 mm Hg.

- Questions
- FIG 14-11 Early Decelerations. Note that the slowing of the fetal heart rate mirrors the contraction. It begins near the beginning of the contraction and returns to the baseline by the end of the contraction. Cause: fetal head compression.
- FIG 14-12 Late Decelerations. Note that the decelerations look similar to early decelerations but are offset to the right. They begin at about the peak of the contraction, and the nadir occurs well after the peak of the contraction, often during the interval. Cause: uteroplacental insufficiency.
- FIG 14-13 Variable Decelerations. The decelerations are sharp in onset and offset. Note slight rate accelerations (shoulders) after each variable deceleration. Cause: umbilical cord compression.

- Questions
- Vibroacoustic Stimulation.
- FIG 14-14 Fetal scalp stimulation helps identify whether the fetus responds to gentle massage. An acceleration in the fetal heart rate (FHR) peaking 15 beats per minute above the baseline suggests that the fetus is in normal oxygen and acid-base balance. Accelerations often occur with vaginal examination unrelated to a nonreassuring FHR pattern.

- FIG 22-1 Effect of Prolactin and Oxytocin on Milk Production. When the infant begins to suckle at the breast, nerve impulses travel to the hypothalamus, causing the anterior pituitary to secrete prolactin to increase milk production. Suckling causes the posterior pituitary to secrete oxytocin, producing the let-down reflex, which releases milk from the breast. Oxytocin also causes the uterus to contract, which aids in involution.

- Position of the Mother’s Hands.
- FIG 22-3 For the cradle hold, the mother positions the infant’s head at or near the antecubital space and level with her nipple, with her arm supporting the infant’s body. Her other hand is free to hold the breast. Once the infant is positioned, pillows or blankets can be used to support the mother’s arm, which may tire from holding the baby.
- FIG 22-4 For the football or clutch hold, the mother supports the infant’s head and neck in her hand, with the infant’s body resting on pillows alongside her hip. This method allows the mother to see the position of the infant’s mouth on the breast, helps her control the infant’s head, and is especially helpful for mothers with heavy breasts. This hold also avoids pressure against an abdominal incision.
- FIG 22-5 The cross-cradle or modified cradle hold is helpful for infants who are preterm or have a fractured clavicle. The mother holds the infant’s head with the hand opposite the side on which the infant will feed and supports the infant’s body across her lap with her arm. The other hand holds the breast. The mother can guide the infant’s head to the breast and see the mouth on the breast during the feeding.
- FIG 22-6 The side-lying position avoids pressure on episiotomy or abdominal incisions and allows the mother to rest while feeding. She lies on her side, with her lower arm supporting her head or placed around the infant. Pillows behind her back and between her legs provide comfort. Her upper hand and arm are used to position the infant on the side at nipple level and hold the breast. When the infant’s mouth opens to nurse, the mother draws the infant to her to insert the nipple into the mouth. A small blanket or towel can be placed over an abdominal incision to protect it from infant movement.
- FIG 22-7 “C” Position of Hand on Breast. The hand is positioned so that the thumb is on top of the breast while the fingers support the breast from below. Note the flaring of the infant’s lips.

- FIG 22-12 To express milk from the breast, the mother places her hand just behind the areola, with the thumb on top and the fingers supporting the breast. The tissue is pressed back against the chest wall; then the fingers and thumb are brought together and toward the nipple. This compresses the ducts and causes milk to flow. The action is repeated to simulate the suckling of the infant. Moving the hands around the areola allows compression of all areas and increases removal of milk from the breast. Compression should be gentle to avoid trauma. Application of heat and massage before expression increase the flow of milk.

B, Suprapubic pressure by an assistant pushes the fetal anterior shoulder downward to displace it from above the mother’s symphysis pubis. Fundal pressure should not be used because it will push the anterior shoulder even more firmly against the mother’s symphysis.

C, After the birth of the shoulders, the attendant maintains flexion of the fetal head by using the fingers of the left hand to apply pressure to the lower face. The fetal body straddles the attendant’s left arm. An assistant provides suprapubic pressure to help keep the fetal head well-flexed. D, After the fetal head is brought under the symphysis pubis, an assistant grasps the fetal legs with a towel for traction while the attendant delivers the face and head over the mother’s perineum.
