Explanation / Answer

Question 25

Three stages of child birth process are

1. First stage : From the onset of the true labor until the cervix is dilated to 10 cms. In this stage, the cervix has to dilate for the baby to come out. The muscles of the mother's womb tighten with each contraction and then release, gradually drawing the cervix up into the lower section of the womb. In the early stages, the cervix may dilute slowly and can take hours to dilute to 10 cms with long gaps between two contractions. In the later phase of first stage, then contraction becomes more powerful and contractions occur with less gap. By the end of foraf stage, the cervix will be fully dilated (10cms).

2. Second Stage : This is the stage where the baby is born. In this stage, the baby will descend into the birth canal and the mother must push the baby down to make the baby come out. With every push, baby will move further through the pelvis. When the baby's head is visible and stays there at the end of the contraction, it is called crowning. Further pushing makes the baby come out and the baby is taken to clean up.

3. Third stage : Delivery of the placenta. This is the shortest stage. It can take from 5 to 30 minutes. Placenta will peel away from the wall of the womb and move down the birth canal and then it is detached.
