 Minutes
Effacement of the Cervix
Becomes
–Thinner
–Shorter
Starts
–Couple weeks before delivery
Stages of Birth
 1st stage: Dilation & Effacement of the
Cervix
– @ 12 - 24 hrs.
 Longest stage
– Contractions @ 15–20 min’s apart
 Closer together as birth nears
– Contractions dilate cervix to open @ 4
inches.
 Allows baby to move into birth canal

INFANTS
4.4
Preterm & Small-for-Date
Infants
 Low-birth-weight under 5.5 lbs
– Very low - under 3 lbs
– Extremely low - under 2 lbs
Small-for-Date
 Ex: Born full term yet 5 lbs.
–May be preterm/full term
–Birth weight below normal
Increased use of progestin to prevent
preterm births
– Lowered preterm births 1/3
Small-for-Date

Premature Baby 1st Minutes
Premature Baby 1st Minutes
 28 weeks 2 days, 2.95 lbs.
 Premature babies highly prone to infection
and one tiny germ can kill them .
 Plastic around the baby protect body heat
 Blue light is used for jaundice
 Quiet in the nursery sleeping which is very
important to their overall health and
development .
Preterm & Small-for-Date
Infants
 Consequences of preterm & LBW
 Most low birth weight infants
– normal & healthy
 As a group
– More developmental & health problems
– Risk increases as gestation age decreases
 Potential problems include
 brain injuries
 lung & liver diseases
 learning disabilities
 breathing problems
 Norwegian study
– Preterm-birth adolescents higher risk for:
 language delays
 learning problems
 behavior problems/delinquency involvement
Consequences of Preterm &
LBW
EARLY INFANT CARE

between parents & newborn in period
