STAGE 1: CONTRACTIONS OPEN CERVIX
What Takes Place? Contractions come at regular intervals.
How Long Does It Last? First Child: 6 to 18 hours Later Children: 2 to 5 hours
![Page 9: T HE B ABY ’ S A RRIVAL. W ARM U P What are the 3 Stages of Labor? 1. Contractions open the cervix 2. The baby is born 3. The placenta is expelled](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050714/56649d8b5503460f94a72350/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

BREECH PRESENTATION OR POSITION
Feet or butt first rather than the head Babies may have a difficult time moving
through the pelvis area. Doctors will decide whether a normal
delivery is possible. Usually a cesarean birth is necessary.

RELAXIN AND DILATION
Dilate- to widen or open Relaxin is a hormone that allows the
connective tissue in mothers pelvis stretch to make it possible for the walls of the vagina to stretch so the baby can pass through safely.
Relaxin allows for dialation.
![Page 13: T HE B ABY ’ S A RRIVAL. W ARM U P What are the 3 Stages of Labor? 1. Contractions open the cervix 2. The baby is born 3. The placenta is expelled](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050714/56649d8b5503460f94a72350/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
EPISIOTOMY
A surgical cut of the skin from the vagina to the anus.
This cut widens the opening for the baby to come out.
![Page 14: T HE B ABY ’ S A RRIVAL. W ARM U P What are the 3 Stages of Labor? 1. Contractions open the cervix 2. The baby is born 3. The placenta is expelled](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050714/56649d8b5503460f94a72350/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
STEM CELLS
Are present in the Cord blood which is left behind in the umbilical cord and placenta following birth.
Are capable of producing all types of blood cells
Can be used to treat many serious blood-related illnesses in the baby or family.
The cord blood can be stored or donated

CESAREAN BIRTH

wrong way Multiple births
Epidural or anesthesia is used May need up to 6 weeks for full recovery

PREMATURE BIRTH
5-6% of all babies are born prematurely Born before 37 weeks Weighs less than 5 pounds, 8 ounces Earlier the baby is born, the less developed
their organs are Why: Not 100% sure.
Multiple births, medical conditions, teens Require Special Care incubator
Systems for controlling body temperature, breathing, and feeding are not mature (controlled by the brain)
Could have long-term health problems
