Normal Delivery
The term normal delivery is often replaced with vaginal birth. It is a natural way of bringing the baby to the world without any medical intervention.
Each pregnant female who is going to be the mother for the first time (Primi gravida) should be given a chance for normal delivery.
Symptoms of normal delivery
- Thick blood stained mucus discharge
- Backache radiating to lower abdomen and thighs
- Uterine contractions
- Increase frequency of urination
- Water break due to rupture of amniotic sac
Normal delivery or the process of labor is divided into three stages
First Stage
It involves contractions of uterus leading to dilatation, softening and opening of cervix.in primi patient this stage may last for 12 hours and in multigravida it usually last for 7-8 hours maximum.
The first stage is again divided into Latent stage and Active stage of labor. Latent stage: the pain is less, contractions are starting but slow and less severity with cervical dilatation reaching upto 3cm.
Active stage:The uterine contractions become severe and increased intensity and more frequent. The interval between two contractions becomes 3-4 minutes only.Pain increases. It lasts until cervical dilatation of 10cm.
Second Stage:Pushing and the birth of the baby
This stage begins after the complete dilation of the cervix. Intense contractions continue, helping push the baby head first through the birth canal. The mother is asked to push with every contraction and may find herself highly fatigued. She may also experience intense pain around the vaginal opening as the baby makes its way out. It usually lasts 30 mins to 1 hour in primi patient.
Third stage:Delivery of the placenta
