Definition-Labour
Labour may defined as rhythmic contraction and
relaxation of the uterine muscles with
progressive effacement and dilatation of the
cervix, leading to expulsion of the products of
conception.
Definition mechanism of labour
A series of passive, adaptive movements of the fetal
head and shoulders smallest diameter to pass
through the birth canal.
The mechanism of labour are the positional
movements that the fetus undergoes to
accommodate itself to the maternal pelvis.
Terminology :
1.Lie: the relation of the long axis of the fetus to that of
the mother
 . longitudinal lie
 .transverse lie
2.Attitude: posture of the fetus
 Head flexed over the chest
 Arms/hands flexed over the chest
 Thighs/legs flexed over the abdomen
3.Presentation: the presenting part is the portion of the
body of the fetus
4.Position : the relation of an arbitrary chosen point
of the fetal presenting part to the right or left side of
the maternal birth canal.
5.Denominator :
Cardinal movements of labour
1.Engagement
2. Descent
3.Flexion
4.Internal rotation of the head
5.Crowning
6.Extension
7.Restitution
8.External rotation of the head / internal rotation of
shoulder
9.Lateral flexion of the body and shoulder through
birth canal.
ENGAGEMENT
Engagement takes place when the bipareital
diameter of the fetal head has passed through the
pelvic inlet.
In primigravida , it usually occurs 12hours. In multi it
will occur within 6hrs.
DESCENT
It is a continuous movement
throughout the process of delivery.
Descent result in number of forces
including contractions, and maternal
pushing effort with contraction of
her abdominal muscles.
FLEXION
 As the head descends , it meets resistance
from the pelvic walls and floor and this leads
to increased flexion of the head.
 As the head flexed it brings the shortest
longitudinal diametre of the head ( sub –
occipito – bregmatic 9.5cm ) to pass
through the birth canal.
Internal rotation of the head
 The occiput leads and meets the
pelvic floor first and rotates
anteriorly 1/8 of a circle.
After internal rotation of head, further descent
occurs until the occiput lies underneath the
pelvic arch. At this stage, the maximum
diametre of the head ( biparietal diametre )
stretches the vulval outlet.
CROWNING
EXTENSION
 Once crowning has occurred , the fetal head
is pivot under the symphysis pubis and the
sinciput, face and chin sweep over the
perinium.
RESTITUTION
 with restitution , the occiput
moves 1/8 of a circle towards the
side from which it started.
Internal rotation of
shoulder
 The anterior shoulder reaches the pelvic floor and
rotates anteriorly 1/8 th of a circle. The shoulder come
to lie in the anterio posterio diametre of the pelvic
outlet.
EXTERNAL ROTATION OF HEAD
 The head rotates 1/8 th of a circle
towards the symphysis pubis from the
oblique diameter.
Lateral flexion of body and
head
After the shoulder are delivered, the
body is born by lateral flexion flowing
the curve of carns.

Mechanism of labour

  • 2. Definition-Labour Labour may defined as rhythmic contraction and relaxation of the uterine muscles with progressive effacement and dilatation of the cervix, leading to expulsion of the products of conception.
  • 3. Definition mechanism of labour A series of passive, adaptive movements of the fetal head and shoulders smallest diameter to pass through the birth canal. The mechanism of labour are the positional movements that the fetus undergoes to accommodate itself to the maternal pelvis.
  • 4. Terminology : 1.Lie: the relation of the long axis of the fetus to that of the mother  . longitudinal lie  .transverse lie 2.Attitude: posture of the fetus  Head flexed over the chest  Arms/hands flexed over the chest  Thighs/legs flexed over the abdomen 3.Presentation: the presenting part is the portion of the body of the fetus
  • 5. 4.Position : the relation of an arbitrary chosen point of the fetal presenting part to the right or left side of the maternal birth canal. 5.Denominator :
  • 6. Cardinal movements of labour 1.Engagement 2. Descent 3.Flexion 4.Internal rotation of the head 5.Crowning 6.Extension 7.Restitution 8.External rotation of the head / internal rotation of shoulder 9.Lateral flexion of the body and shoulder through birth canal.
  • 7. ENGAGEMENT Engagement takes place when the bipareital diameter of the fetal head has passed through the pelvic inlet. In primigravida , it usually occurs 12hours. In multi it will occur within 6hrs.
  • 8. DESCENT It is a continuous movement throughout the process of delivery. Descent result in number of forces including contractions, and maternal pushing effort with contraction of her abdominal muscles.
  • 9. FLEXION  As the head descends , it meets resistance from the pelvic walls and floor and this leads to increased flexion of the head.  As the head flexed it brings the shortest longitudinal diametre of the head ( sub – occipito – bregmatic 9.5cm ) to pass through the birth canal.
  • 10. Internal rotation of the head  The occiput leads and meets the pelvic floor first and rotates anteriorly 1/8 of a circle.
  • 11. After internal rotation of head, further descent occurs until the occiput lies underneath the pelvic arch. At this stage, the maximum diametre of the head ( biparietal diametre ) stretches the vulval outlet. CROWNING
  • 12. EXTENSION  Once crowning has occurred , the fetal head is pivot under the symphysis pubis and the sinciput, face and chin sweep over the perinium.
  • 13. RESTITUTION  with restitution , the occiput moves 1/8 of a circle towards the side from which it started.
  • 14. Internal rotation of shoulder  The anterior shoulder reaches the pelvic floor and rotates anteriorly 1/8 th of a circle. The shoulder come to lie in the anterio posterio diametre of the pelvic outlet.
  • 15. EXTERNAL ROTATION OF HEAD  The head rotates 1/8 th of a circle towards the symphysis pubis from the oblique diameter.
  • 16. Lateral flexion of body and head After the shoulder are delivered, the body is born by lateral flexion flowing the curve of carns.
