The Stages Of The Dilation Stage

Labor and delivery nurses not only get to assist in delivery, but they get to help care for babies after delivery. After birth, the baby’s umbilical cord must be cut. Typically, the father of the baby will cut the cord, but if the cord is wrapped around the baby’s neck, it can restrict blood flow and must be cut immediately (Winder). The doctor must take charge and free the baby from choking by cutting the cord as quickly as possible. The nurse must remain calm and be ready to quickly check the baby to make sure everything is looking healthy. They must check its heart beat, clean out its nose and mouth, make sure it is breathing normally, make sure it has all ten fingers and toes, and check the weight and length of the baby (What Can I Do Now?

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE, 2007) Intrapartum guidelines state that during the first stage of labour women should be encouraged to adopt the position they feel most comfortable in. This is what the student was trying to encourage even though her mentor did not.There are various positions the woman can adopt in labour which are generally grouped into upright and recumbent. The positions classed as upright are; standing, walking, kneeling, squatting, on all fours and sitting, and the recumbent position could include; supine, lithotomy, semi-recumbent or side lying (Johnson and Taylor, 2011). The upright position appeared to be more beneficial in Sarah’s case and the author wants to determine if this is always the case. It is evident that sometimes there will be constraints such as continuous fetal monitoring but it is important that the midwife does

Providing an effective care and support to the patient and for their babies during labour

A labor and delivery nurse is a nurse who cares for woman and newborns during antepartum, intraparetum, postpartum, and neonatal stages of birth. These nurses take vital signs to make sure the mother and her newborn are healthy. Labor and delivery nurses aren’t there for the medicine they are also there to provide support for the mother and the family. I would like to become a labor and delivery nurse because I love helping and taking care of others, especially when it comes to babies, I have always been interested in how the human reproduction systems works, and I love seeing others happy.

For any mother the birth of a newborn child can be a challenging experience. As nurses it is part of our job to ensure their experience is positive. We can help do this by providing the information they will need to affective care for their newborn.

The nurse would want to ensure adequate nutrition for the baby and preventing aspiration or infection

Pharmacological comfort measures can provide partial or complete pain relief. The epidural is the most efficient way of reducing labor pain. Opioids can be given continuously or in intermittent doses at the patient 's request or through the patient controlled pump. There is the potential for these drugs to have some effect on the fetus, such as breathing difficulties that may require assistance through the use of Narcan. Providing pain relief during the labor process is solely the patient’s choice, and as the nurse only support and encouragement should be given for however she chooses to handle the pain. (Jansen, Gibson, Bowles, & Leach, 2013)

Depending on where the baby is in your pelvis, high or low, you could get the urge to push early or you might have to wait a little while. This stage can take anywhere from a couple minutes to many hours. The pushing stage is said to take longer for woman who get epidurals. There are ways to cope with the pain while pushing. You can try vocalization to relax your body. This will also allow more oxygen to both the mother and the baby. A couple different sounds you can try are “oooh” and “aaaah”. You can also try focusing on how you breathe. There are many different ways to breathe from hee-ing or haa-ing to panting or deep inhaling. All of these methods have been shown to help woman ease the pain of not only pushing but also contractions. Not long after you start pushing the baby's scalp should start to become visible. This could be the excitement one needs to push through the pain. Now every time you have a contraction a little more of the baby's head will become visible. As more of the head becomes visible it is very common to feel a burning sensation. This sensation is sometimes referred to as “the ring of fire” and is due to the tissues being stretched. After the baby's head is out your caregiver will suction out the mouth and nose. Next it will be time for the shoulders and then the body. Now that your baby is finally brought into the world you are able to hold it. But, you're not quite done yet.

There are three techniques to help during the process of natural childbirth: the Alexander technique, the Bradley method, and the Lamaze method. The Alexander technique is helpful for a pregnant woman to solve the problems like muscular tension, restoring her body’s original poise, for attaining proper posture and increasing her breathing capacity. It would be easier for her to open the cervix during dilation and also it helps in preparing for effective pushing as the baby comes.

Birth of a child can be such a happy time, especially when the little one is very healthy. We all have seen the movies when a new child is born, some of us are lucky to see it first hand. Some of us do get goose bumps, me being one of them. It is just so exciting to see that little life come out of what has been in that big belly for nine months. We sometimes refer to the birth of a child as labor. If only it was as easy as the name sounds. However, it is not. There are three main stages in birth. The first stage is the longest stage that can last 12 to 14 hours with the first birth, and later births are shorter. Dilation and effacement of the cervix take place here. That is when the uterine contractions gradually become more frequent and
