Intermittent auscultation is a fundamental midwifery skill on fetal heart monitoring. Also requires effective communication as well as the ability to listening carefully, counting the sound and interpret what is heard (Robyn, 2012). In developing countries intermittent FHR monitoring using Pinard’s fetoscope is the only main way of monitoring fetal heart rate during labor. Several studies done by Albers, Feinstein & Trepaniq, (2000, 2012), said that intermittent auscultation of FHR during labor is

A woman named Mallory Smothers posted a status update to her Facebook page on February 14 that taught everyone a thing or two about the benefits of breast milk. Her post included a photo of two bags of breast milk that she had pumped for her baby. The two bags of milk were pumped only one day apart, but they look incredibly different.

Introduction In 2015, 303 000 women died due to pregnancy or childbirth-related complications and 5.9 million children died under the age of 5 (WHO, 2016). Furthermore, over 45% of the child deaths occur during the first 28 days of life. The majority of the maternal and child deaths occur in low and middle-income countries and, moreover, a child from a poor background in these countries is 56 times more likely not to survive the first 5 years of life (Lassi et al., 2014). The problem of poor maternal

The first systematic review found titled “Effect of spontaneous pushing versus Valsalva pushing in the second stage of labour on mother and fetus: a systematic review of randomised trials”published in the International Journal Of Gynecologist And Obstetrics in 2011. The authors of the review were Prins, M., Boxem, J., Lucas, C. and Hutton, E. The review compared all the relevant randomised control trial studies that have been conducted regarding Valsava pushing method compared to spontaneous pushing

Status of perinatal care at international and national level At least half of all stillbirths occurred in the intrapartum period. Among the 133 million babies born alive each year, 2.8 million die in the first week of life. The patterns of these deaths are similar to the patterns for maternal deaths; the majority occurring in developing countries. Quality skilled care during pregnancy and childbirth are key for the health of the baby and the mother. In the regions with the highest neonatal mortality

In the United States of America, Morgan and King, (2001) report that economic and social changes in society over recent decades have greatly affected the timing of childbearing. Women taking time out from paid work

Cesarean deliveries may be performed because of maternal or fetal problems that arise during labor, or they may be planned before the mother goes into labor. More than 30 percent of births in the United States occur by cesarean delivery. 12. Obstetrics It is a branch of medicine that deals with

The registered midwife and the student midwife looked after Laura, a 29-year-old, gravid 2 para 1 woman, who was in active first stage of labour. No relevant social, family, medical or obstetric history was highlighted during handover or in Laura’s pregnancy notes. Laura’s first pregnancy and birth was uncomplicated and the current pregnancy was uneventful and remained low risk throughout. Laura was labouring in the birth centre. Between contractions the registered midwife discussed the management

Maternal conditions that determine the path of birth, the maternal age and the reduction in the number of desired children. The gestational age less than 38 weeks of gestation or greater than 40 weeks can increase the chance of having a cesarean birth. Births in gestational ages between 29 and 36 weeks have a probability close to 57% of occurring by cesarean section, compared to 33 % in births with a gestational age between 37 and 42 weeks. Women have a greater proportion of births by cesarean section
