Connie is days away from giving birth, and she wants to review what to expect during the labor process. Describe the hallmarks of each of the three stages of labor and the advice you'd give to Connie at each stage.
What will be an ideal response?
- Stage 1 is characterized by uterine contractions. As labor progresses the contractions become more frequent and last longer.
- The final part of the first stage is called transition; contractions are strongest and the cervix is fully open. Connie should expect that Stage 1 is the longest stage of delivery.
- Stage 2 begins as the baby's head emerges from the mother's vagina. Connie can be relieved that this is a relatively brief stage, but she should also know that an episiotomy might be performed.
- Stage 3 occurs when the umbilical cord and placenta are expelled; this takes only a few minutes. Connie should know that, at this point, delivery is complete.
