This video outlines the essential steps in managing the first stage of labour, from the onset of contractions to full cervical dilation. Key points include:
Assessment and Monitoring:
Conduct initial assessments, including history taking, physical, abdominal, and vaginal examinations.
Continuously monitor fetal heart rate, maternal vital signs, and contraction patterns.
Pain Management:
Use non-pharmacological methods like breathing exercises, massage, and hydrotherapy.
Offer pharmacological options such as opioids or epidural anesthesia for pain relief.
Maternal Positioning and Mobility:
Encourage movement and position changes to facilitate labor progress.
Support positions like upright, side-lying, or hands-and-knees to enhance comfort.
Emotional and Psychological Support:
Provide continuous reassurance and emotional support.
Involve support persons like partners or doulas in the labor process.
Preparation for the Second Stage:
Regularly assess cervical dilation and fetal descent.
Educate the laboring person on the transition to the second stage and prepare the birthing environment.
Documentation and Communication:
Maintain accurate records of all assessments and interventions.
Communicate clearly with the laboring person and their support team about progress and expectations.
