Term Definition
sutures membraneous joints that unite cranial bones
Molding when the cranial bones overlap to get through pelvis
Anterior fontanelle that is diamond shaped
posterior fontanelle that is inverted triangle shaped
mentum is the important landmark also know as the chin
sinciput the important landmark that is known as the brow
vertex area between the anterior and posterior fontanelles and is the smallest daimeter
occiput an important landmark occupied by the occipital bone
fetal attitude is known as the relation of fetal parts to one another.
Fetal lie refers to the relationship of fetal spinal column to the maternal spinal column
fetal presentation determined by fetal lie and the fetal part entering maternal pelvis first.
vertex the presentation that is most common type of presntation where the fetal head is completley flexed onto chest; smallest diameter of the fetal head presents to the maternal pelvis
brow is the presentation that the fetal head is partially extended the occipital diameter; the largest AP diameter is presented to the maternal pelvis
sinciput is the presentation whre the fetal head is partially flexed the occipitofrontal diameter presents to the maternal pelvis; top of the head is the presenting part
face is the presentation where the fetal head is hyperextended; the submentobregmatic diameter presents to the maternal pelvis which is the widest diameter, usually come out really bruised
breech presenting part is lower extrimity or butt
complete the fetal knees and hips are both flexed, the thighs are on abdomen and calves are on posterioer or aspect of the thighs; the buttocks and feet of the fetus present to the maternal pelvis
Frank the fetal hips are flexed and knees are extended. the buttocks of the fetus presents to maternal pelvis
Footing the fetal hips and legs are extended; the feet of the fetus present to maternal pelvis. 1 or 2 feet can present
shoulder the presentation position where the shoulder is presenting part; fetus is in a transverse lie and the acromin process of the scapula is the landmark. must have a C-section
OA is the most common position for birth.
Gynecide and anthropoid the two pelvic types that are favorable for vaginal births
engagement occurs when largest diameter of presenting part reaches or passes through pelvic inlet; determined by vaginal examination
increment is the building up of a contraction
Acme is the peak of a contraction
decrement is the letting up of a contraction
frequency is the time between the begining of one contraction to the begining of the next contraction
duration is measured from the begining of contratction to completion of contraction
intesity strenght of contraction at acme
IUPC measures the intestity of a contraction
montevideo measures resting to acme; measures the effectiveness of contractions
200 contractions must exceed ___ mmhg to be considered effective
contractions involuntray and the laboring woman cannt control their duration, frequency, or intesitiy
progesterone withdrawl ___ ____ hypothesis is said to cause labor because the placenta produces it causing the uterine muslces to relax; with it gone it does the opposite
myometrial activity ___ ___ uterus devides into two portions: Effacement and cervical dialation.
true ___ labor contractions produce progressive dialation and effacement of cervix; occur regularly; increase in frequency, duration, and intensity; pain is not releived by ambulation
latent first stage: __ phase: begins with onset of regular contractions; average 8.6 hrs, duration 20-30s, frequency is 3-30m, and intesity is mild. amnioic membranes bulge through cervix in shape of cone.
transition first stage:____ phase: woman exhibits significant anxiety; acutely aware of increaseing force and intesity of contractions, may become restless frequently changing positions; fear of being left alone, inner directed, and doubts ability to cope with labor
second this stage of labor is where crowing occurs; feels the urge to push; spontaneous birth.
24 after the membranes rupture you have ___ hours to have the baby before they induce to reduce infection
mucous plug protects fetus from infection
placenta transfer center form mother to fetus
umbilical cord carries blood
amniotic sac acts a a "bubble rap"
