the term used to describe the contractions of the uterus?
uterine contraction
this refers to uterine conditions that result in the uterus not having enough coordination or strength to dilate the cervix and push the baby through the birth canal. issues with uterine contractions are the main cause of prolonged labor during the latent phase. contractions may not occur as of a result of uterine tumors. in addition, if the uterus is stretched, usually due to previous pregnancies or the birth of twins, contractions may be difficult. irregular or weak contractions can be fixed through stimulation of the uterus or oxytocin infusions. lack of contractions may be caused by an overwhelming amount of painkillers or anesthesia, by which the medications should be discontinued. in this case, it is appropriate for assisted vaginal delivery to be conducted.
prolonged labor
humans usually produce a single offspring at a time. the mother's body is prepared for birth by hormones produced by the pituitary gland, the ovary and the placenta. the total gestation period from fertilization to birth is normally about 38 weeks (birth usually occurring 40 weeks after the last menstrual period). the normal process of childbirth takes several hours and has three stages. the first stage starts with a series of involuntary contractions of the muscular walls of the uterus and gradual dilation of the cervix. the active phase of the first stage starts when the cervix is dilated more than about 4 cm in diameter and is when the contractions become stronger and regular. the head (or the buttocks in a breech birth) of the baby is pushed against the cervix, which gradually dilates until is fully dilated at 10 cm diameter. at some time, the amniotic sac bursts and the amniotic fluid escapes (also known as rupture of membranes or breaking the water). in stage two, starting when the cervix is fully dilated, strong contractions of the uterus and active pushing by the mother expels the baby out through the vagina, which during this stage of labour is called a birth canal as this passage contains a baby, and the baby is born with umbilical cord attached. in stage three, which begins after the birth of the baby, further contractions expel the placenta, amniotic sac, and the remaining portion of the umbilical cord usually within a few minutes.
