    Differentiation Between True and False Labor Contraction

    Uploaded by

    pearl joy hollero
    Uterine contractions during labor progress from irregular to regular and predictable in frequency, duration, and intensity. True labor contractions achieve cervical dilation, increase over time, and cannot be stopped by activity, while false contractions remain irregular, confined to the abdomen, and can be stopped by activity. Labor progresses through three stages - dilation of the cervix from 0-10 cm, birth of the baby, and delivery of the placenta. The cervix effaces and thins during dilation to allow the baby to pass through the birth canal.

    AND FALSELABOR CONTRACTIONS
    Uterine
    CONTRACTIONS
    This are the muscle
    contractions happening within
    the uterus that make childbirth
    happen. The uterus which
    surrounds the baby, squeezes
    and contracts. Each of these
    contractions nudges the baby
    closer to their grand entrance.
    During pregnancy, the uterus
    begins to contract and relax
    periodically as if it is rehearsing
    for labor.

    As labor contractions progress and
    become regular and strong, the
    uterus gradually differentiates itself
    into two distinct functioning areas: an
    upper portion, which thickens, and a
    lower segment, which becomes thin
    walled, supple, and passive so the
    fetus can be pushed out of the uterus
    easily.

    THESTAGESOFLABOR
    Labor is traditionally divided into three stages:
    The first stage of dilatation, which begins with the initiation of true labor contractions
    and ends when the cervix is fully dilated. (Three segments: Latent phase, Active phase,
    and Transition phase)
    The second stage or the stage of expulsion, extending from the time of full dilatation
    until the infant is born.
    The third or placental stage, lasting from the time the infant is born until after the
    delivery of the placenta. (Types of placental delivery: Schultz and Duncan) The
    Fourth stage or Puerperium stage, this is the beginning of the postpartal period.
    There is a high risk for hemorrhage during this time.

    Note: The first 1 to 4 hours after birth of the placenta is sometimes termed the"fourth stage"
    to emphasize the importance of close maternal observation needed at this time.
