THIRD STAGE OF LABOUR

The third stage of labor involves the separation and expulsion of the placenta and it's membrane. The third stage is most important because it is a primary factor in determining whether postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) will occur.
There is a significant risk of haemorrhage during this stage. All patients require close monitoring and routine prevention of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH).

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) refers to excessive blood loss following labor and delivery, and it is one of the leading factors resulting in maternal morbidity and death. It is estimated to be the cause of death for 99% mothers who die due to childbirth from developing or undeveloped countries, and of these, about one-third do so as a direct result of PPH.

For this reason, the duration of the third stage has been intensively studied. It normally lasts anywhere between 5 minutes to an hour, depending upon whether it is actively managed or allowed to progress spontaneously.

FIRST STAGE OF LABOUR
Labour is the physiological process by which the fetus, placenta and its membrane are expelled through the birth canal.

First stage of labor is the longest phase of childbirth and can be divided into three phases: latent phase, active phase and transitional phase.

1. Latent phase
Is often refers to as Early labor, it can last for several hours, especially for first-time mothers. It typically begins with mild and irregular contractions that may feel like menstrual cramps. These contractions gradually become regular, stronger and closer together.
During this phase, the cervix (which is the opening to the uterus) begins to efface (ie thin out) and dilate (open up). At this point You might notice a bloody show (a small amount of blood-tinged mucus). This phase ends when the cervix is 4cm dilated.
It is very important to communicate with your healthcare provider and follow their guidance on when to go to the hospital or birthing center.

2. Active phase
In this phase contractions become more intense, it last longer, and its frequent (usually every 3-5 minutes). The cervix continues to dilate from about 4 centimeters to 8 centimeters. You may feel more pressure and discomfort in your lower back and abdomen.

3. Transitional phase
This is the shortest but most intense phase
In this phase Contractions reaches its peak, intensify and is more frequent. The cervix fully dilates from 8 to 10 centimeters. You might feel nauseous, shaky, or hot and cold flashes. Many women experience strong urges to push during this phase.

Throughout the first stage of labor, it's crucial to stay hydrated, rest between contractions, and use relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises or massages.

An exciting milestone of pregnancy is when you first feel the sensation of your baby move. These movements are a sign that your baby is healthy and well.

You will usually start to feel your baby moving between 16 and 24 weeks of pregnancy. The location of your placenta will not affect this sensation. It is more common for women having their second or subsequent pregnancies to feel their baby move earlier.

The type of movement you feel will depend on what your baby is doing and their stage of growth and development. Each baby is different, with some more active than others.

The first sensations you feel may be a fluttering (like 'butterflies in your tummy'), swishing, rolling or tumbling or a tiny kick. These early sensations are often called ‘quickening’. As your pregnancy progresses, the movements will become more distinct, and you will more easily feel their kicks, jabbing and elbowing.

If you have not felt your baby move by 24 weeks, you should contact your midwife or doctor.

Selfcare is important for both your physical and mental health, it is not a luxury, it is essential for life.

Now let me explain, there are different types of placenta but we will talk about 3 today

✔️PLACENTA PREVIA:
Placenta previa is a condition when the placenta blocks all or part of your cervix. In the last months of pregnancy With placenta previa your best bet is a cesarean delivery

✔️ANTERIOR PLACENTA: The placenta grows on the front wall of your uterus closest to your abdomen.
A lot of pregnant mamas have this type of placenta and in most cases it makes it difficult to detect baby's movements but this type of placenta is fine.

✔️POSTERIOR PLACENTA: The placenta grows on the back wall of your uterus, which is the common type of placenta and you can have a va**na delivery

Water birth (hydrotherapy) is a great pain relief option in labour

Hydrotherapy is a process of using water to treat or alleviate discomfort.
Water is an amazing form of pain relief, women with low risk pregnancy can labour in water and opt for water birth.
Labour in water has many benefits for both mother and baby :
●It improves maternal blood circulation, improve oxygen circulation for baby, relaxed muscles and less painful contractions
●Mother can move freely and adopt different upright positions
●It can lower blood pressure caused by anxiety and contractions
●It is comforting anf very relaxing
●Water causes the perineum to become more elastic and relaxed, reducing the incidence and severity of tearing and the need for an episiotomy and stitches
●As the labouring woman relaxes physically, she is able to relax mentally with great ability to focus on the birthing process
●Water can reduce stress related hormones, allowing the mother’s body to produce endorphins which serves as pain inhibitors.
●As water provides a greater sense of privacy, it can reduce inhibitions, anxiety and fears. (American pregnancy Association)

Did you labour in water of have a water birth? What was your experience? Would you recommend it to other mamas? Share your thoughts with us...

This is for mothers who is breastfeeding, i know Our society has made it feel like breastfeeding your newborn is one of those many parenting things, that's just meant to ‘come naturally'. But unfortunately that's not the case, so many women actually struggle with breastfeeding so in this post, you will learn about signs of a good and bad latch.

IF YOUR BABY HAS A GOOD LATCH YOU SHOULD NOTICE THE FOLLOWING.
1.Your baby has a good chunk of ni**le in his or her mouth (not just the tip of the ni**le)
2.You can hear swallowing i.e baby is getting milk
3.You can see your baby's tongue when you pull the bottom lip down.

Imagine you going through all this just for someone to call you lazy. I still don't understand why people think that ceacerian section is an easy way out. Is it the fact that, you will not be able to move for up to 24 hours or more, the fact that you live on strong pain relief pills or injection for a couple of days and yet you still feel the pain, back ache, dizziness, head ache, inability to walk properly, taking poo softener before you can go to the toilet See, the list is endless. C-S IS NEVER AN EASY WAY OUT, AS A MATTER OF FACT, GIVING BIRTH ISN'T A CHILD'S PLAY WHETHER VIRGINAL OR C-S. IT TAKES THE GRACE OF GOD TO BRING A CHILD TO THE WORLD . I pray that God will make delivery day easy for each and every one of you. We will hear the voices of the mother and child. The word "congratulations" will never cease from your home in Jesus name. Amen #midwife_freda Everyone @followers
