Hi I'm taylor ploiesti and it's my project and I'm
- 00:05 - 00:06
going to tell you all about the stages of labor.
- 00:07 - 00:09
So not that Ivan first we're going to go to
- 00:09 - 00:12
stage one, there's three stages so we're gonna start stage
- 00:12 - 00:16
one because obviously that's for stage and this is cervical
- 00:16 - 00:18
dilation and effacement as you can see and pretty much
- 00:19 - 00:21
this is the longest stage of labor which we'll get
- 00:21 - 00:23
into. And this is the one that if you're thinking
- 00:24 - 00:26
of labor this is probably what you're thinking of.
- 00:26 - 00:29
Like you're gonna have contractions and all that.
- 00:30 - 00:34
So let's see how long it lasts And like it
- 00:34 - 00:37
says the average is 12 hours but that is there's
- 00:37 - 00:40
so many different things that it could last in the
- 00:40 - 00:42
last few hours or it could last days.
- 00:43 - 00:47
There's really no saying um my sister in law actually
- 00:47 - 00:50
got induced and she I think was in labor for
- 00:50 - 00:50
two days.
- 00:51 - 00:52
It was crazy.
- 00:52 - 00:53
We're just waiting for that baby to come.
- 00:54 - 00:56
But she was in labor for a long time.
- 00:56 - 00:59
So I can only imagine how not fun that is
- 00:59 - 01:03
but and then like it says um so right away
- 01:04 - 01:07
you're kind of having contractions a little bit and then
- 01:07 - 01:09
you're starting to time them and then you get into
- 01:09 - 01:13
transition and that is when your contractions are pretty close
- 01:13 - 01:15
to each other like a minute of heart not even
- 01:15 - 01:19
and they're just constant and that means you're about ready
- 01:19 - 01:23
to give birth and so see the next thing and
- 01:23 - 01:27
the next thing is you just is contracting regularly and
- 01:28 - 01:30
like I said your uterus is moving and trying to
- 01:30 - 01:33
spread apart and trying to push this baby down.
- 01:33 - 01:36
So it's making motions move it down and make it
- 01:36 - 01:37
more smoothly down the birth canal.
- 01:38 - 01:41
And as you can see the dilation chart, you go
- 01:41 - 01:42
from zero to a melon.
- 01:42 - 01:43
So that's pretty crazy.
- 01:44 - 01:47
But so that's why this stage takes a long time
- 01:47 - 01:49
for others and other times it's just ready to go
- 01:49 - 01:52
and it's going, but pretty much stretching and making it
- 01:52 - 01:54
larger for the baby to come down the birth canal.
- 01:56 - 01:59
Okay, next, we're gonna talk about pain methods and a
- 01:59 - 02:02
lot of people either go natural or they go payments.
- 02:03 - 02:04
Let's dive into that.
- 02:05 - 02:06
Oh my God.
- 02:07 - 02:11
Okay, so obviously there's a lot of pain that goes
- 02:11 - 02:14
on and you can either, some people go all natural
- 02:14 - 02:17
births or some people have pain medications and obviously natural
- 02:18 - 02:20
your have different techniques that you can use or you
- 02:20 - 02:21
can use pain medications personally.
- 02:22 - 02:27
I think I'll be using pain medications, but obviously that's
- 02:27 - 02:28
a long ways down the line.
- 02:29 - 02:30
So I really don't know.
- 02:31 - 02:33
Well he is, but if I had to pick right
- 02:33 - 02:36
now, I'd pick pain medication just because it's not going
- 02:36 - 02:38
to hurt the baby and I am not a huge
- 02:38 - 02:39
fan of pain.
- 02:39 - 02:40
So let's look at some natural methods.
- 02:42 - 02:45
These are, there's tons of different things and I just
- 02:45 - 02:49
pick some that are mostly common sense and a lot
- 02:49 - 02:49
of people do them.
- 02:49 - 02:53
So let's go into standing or walking and this really
- 02:54 - 02:56
helps with gravity and to move the baby down the
- 02:56 - 02:58
birth canal and you can find them in either like
- 02:58 - 03:02
walking down the hallway or sometimes they're at home, still
- 03:03 - 03:05
in there in the early stages and walking down the
- 03:05 - 03:07
studio, they're trying to walk around the house just to
- 03:07 - 03:10
keep pushing that baby, move it down a little bit,
- 03:10 - 03:13
helps the gravity and sometimes it helps you get your
- 03:13 - 03:13
mind off of it.
- 03:14 - 03:16
So that also some pro of walking around, like obviously
- 03:17 - 03:19
if I'm in a lot of pain, I would want
- 03:19 - 03:21
to walk around the hospital maybe a little bit, get
- 03:21 - 03:23
my mind off things not being trapped in their own.
- 03:24 - 03:27
Um Obviously though this is more for the earlier stages
- 03:27 - 03:30
of stage one, because when you're in that transition stage
- 03:31 - 03:34
and your interactions are backed back, you're not going to
- 03:34 - 03:35
want to be walking around, you're going to be in
- 03:35 - 03:37
so much pain, you're just gonna want to be in
- 03:37 - 03:40
the bed just so again, this is more further early,
- 03:40 - 03:40
but it helps.
- 03:42 - 03:45
Um okay, now let's go into the next one which
- 03:45 - 03:45
is sitting.
- 03:47 - 03:49
Um so you can do this in hospital obviously, and
- 03:49 - 03:52
this again works with the power of gravity and you're
- 03:52 - 03:55
gonna be sitting on a little bowl exercise balls that
- 03:55 - 03:56
they have at the hospital and you're going to be
- 03:56 - 03:59
balancing trying to use gravity to get that baby moving
- 04:00 - 04:03
down the birth canal trying to move along labor because
- 04:03 - 04:05
no one wants a long labor you want as fast
- 04:05 - 04:07
as possible, but not too fast obviously.
- 04:08 - 04:10
But so yeah, you can bounce the ball and try
- 04:10 - 04:15
to use your gravity to get past all right next
- 04:15 - 04:17
is leaning over or kneeling.
- 04:18 - 04:22
Now this is like when you're getting over a chair
- 04:22 - 04:25
or and so this one is when you're having a
- 04:25 - 04:27
back later in the back labor is when a baby
- 04:27 - 04:28
is pushing on your spine.
- 04:29 - 04:32
So it's going down through the backs of your vaccine
- 04:32 - 04:33
me in so much pain.
- 04:33 - 04:35
So sometimes it's nice just to get the gravity try
- 04:36 - 04:36
to push it forward.
- 04:37 - 04:38
So it's not so much going up against your back,
- 04:39 - 04:40
so that's pretty painful.
- 04:41 - 04:43
But like it shows even lean over a chair, lean
- 04:43 - 04:46
over another exercise ball that they have that's just trying
- 04:46 - 04:47
to push it forward so it's not hurting your back
- 04:48 - 04:48
so much.
- 04:50 - 04:51
It's good.
- 04:51 - 04:52
The next one.
- 04:52 - 04:56
So those are the natural never going to get to
- 04:56 - 04:56
pain medications.
- 04:57 - 05:00
Now with pain medications, there's so many different ones.
- 05:00 - 05:03
I just kind of did too popular ones that most
- 05:04 - 05:05
people do and the first one is going to be
- 05:05 - 05:09
epidural, this would be the one I would get if
- 05:09 - 05:12
I had to Now it's really scary because so you're
- 05:12 - 05:14
sitting on the edge of the bed and the doctor
- 05:14 - 05:16
obviously is going to open up the back of your
- 05:16 - 05:19
gown and they're gonna put the super, it's really long.
- 05:20 - 05:22
I saw it in one of my classes and one
- 05:22 - 05:25
of my friends was in, she's job shadowing obese and
- 05:26 - 05:28
she watched enough but it will be done and we
- 05:28 - 05:32
got told story and it sounds scary but it really
- 05:32 - 05:36
comes so it goes into your spine but it's going
- 05:36 - 05:39
to be in between in this little like space and
- 05:39 - 05:42
they're gonna put a little catheter in and then after
- 05:42 - 05:47
that catheters and then they're gonna administer some medications that
- 05:48 - 05:48
blocks it.
- 05:49 - 05:50
In a funny story about this.
- 05:50 - 05:53
Also my friend's mom just had a baby and uh
- 05:53 - 05:56
so that the girl wasn't working right away and they
- 05:56 - 06:00
put another Dawson and then it really worked and she
- 06:00 - 06:03
couldn't feel her legs were like two days like til
- 06:03 - 06:03
the next day.
- 06:04 - 06:06
So I hope that doesn't happen because that sounds pretty
- 06:06 - 06:09
scary and intense but I'm sure the pain was blocked
- 06:09 - 06:14
out okay na the other one is opioids and it
- 06:14 - 06:18
sounds kinda because obviously there's opioid all around but that
- 06:18 - 06:20
just pretty much means some pain medications and that's stronger
- 06:21 - 06:24
than Tylenol and stuff so they can administer those drives
- 06:24 - 06:27
and you always see you know people in labor with
- 06:27 - 06:31
IV's and stuff so again this kin it says over
- 06:31 - 06:33
there that it can encourage rest into like you know
- 06:33 - 06:35
might not take away fully the pain like an epidural
- 06:36 - 06:39
world but it can actually help you rest because you're
- 06:39 - 06:41
always away with those in contraction.
- 06:42 - 06:43
So this could help you rest a little bit.
- 06:45 - 06:47
Okay, so those are the pain medications that you can
- 06:47 - 06:52
do. So this is a stage one and again, this
- 06:52 - 06:53
is the longest stage.
- 06:53 - 06:56
So buckle up, it's gonna be a while to be
- 06:56 - 06:58
in this one when you think of like, okay, time
- 06:58 - 07:01
to have the baby, this is your stage, this is
- 07:01 - 07:04
going to be the longest and what you're gonna experience
- 07:05 - 07:05
the most.
- 07:05 - 07:08
So It's going to the next one.
- 07:08 - 07:13
Stage two Alice is when you're having the baby and
- 07:13 - 07:16
this like, so the baby is coming up.
- 07:16 - 07:21
So what is happening, obviously your uterus has contracted it
- 07:21 - 07:24
down and with helps and pushes of the mother because
- 07:24 - 07:27
like in movies and so if you were screaming trying
- 07:27 - 07:29
to push it out, that's the stage and that's when
- 07:29 - 07:31
it's trying to push out and it's going to come
- 07:31 - 07:34
out head first and then after they call that crowning.
- 07:35 - 07:37
So you can see the head coming out and then
- 07:37 - 07:39
after the head pops out, then doctors going to shimmy
- 07:39 - 07:42
the shoulders out and then get the rest of the
- 07:42 - 07:46
limbs out as fast as I can then So this
- 07:46 - 07:49
son, like it says last, you can see it 20-50
- 07:49 - 07:52
minutes. And so this one isn't too long and it
- 07:52 - 07:55
can be shorter, it can be longer depends how deep
- 07:55 - 07:58
in the stage you are and how complicated, like for
- 07:58 - 08:00
example, if your baby's flipped, my mom works in the
- 08:00 - 08:03
yards. So she told me a story about someone came
- 08:04 - 08:07
in and she was already like obviously in Stage two
- 08:07 - 08:09
of the baby is ready to come out but it
- 08:09 - 08:11
was flipped and the fee had to come out first
- 08:11 - 08:14
and the doctors were stressed because usually feet first it
- 08:15 - 08:17
was too late and you can feel the baby you
- 08:17 - 08:19
go into C section because it can be super dangerous
- 08:19 - 08:22
and super hard but they don't live here.
- 08:22 - 08:23
The baby's healthiest tom.
- 08:23 - 08:24
Things like that can happen.
- 08:26 - 08:26
Uh huh.
- 08:27 - 08:29
Now in stage two we're gonna dive into different deliveries
- 08:30 - 08:35
around the world and this is making the deliveries around
- 08:35 - 08:35
the world.
- 08:36 - 08:39
So I'm going to go through these few and obviously
- 08:39 - 08:42
things that I'm showing you is american culture.
- 08:42 - 08:45
So we don't really know much about everyone's so let's
- 08:46 - 08:46
go to Afghanistan.
- 08:48 - 08:50
Um So like it says most people give birth at
- 08:50 - 08:53
home and obviously in those kind of countries it's hospitals
- 08:54 - 08:56
aren't always the best and they're not huge either.
- 08:57 - 08:58
So you can't really look into that.
- 08:59 - 09:01
Um and else is a grandmother.
- 09:02 - 09:05
So when the babies are born there's kind of professional
- 09:06 - 09:09
help you, it's grandmother and that can be pretty scary
- 09:09 - 09:11
but that's how it is there.
- 09:11 - 09:14
So you can see these pictures of some others in
- 09:14 - 09:18
there Going to our next one it's going to china.
- 09:19 - 09:20
Now this one was kind of talked about her book
- 09:21 - 09:22
a little bit but I saw some more information and
- 09:23 - 09:26
they actually like to give birth in a squatting position
- 09:26 - 09:30
which normally it's laying on the bed.
- 09:30 - 09:33
But I've seen studies and stuff that sometimes it's better
- 09:33 - 09:36
to give birth squatting because they grab you, helps out.
- 09:36 - 09:38
Um And the other thing that I found it interesting
- 09:38 - 09:41
and follow and I was looking at this country, women
- 09:41 - 09:45
don't usually scream or cry during labor and or during
- 09:45 - 09:49
birth and that I can't imagine going through that much
- 09:49 - 09:51
pain and not screaming or doing anything.
- 09:53 - 09:55
And then I found this in a lot of countries,
- 09:55 - 09:59
but the father is usually also not there when the
- 09:59 - 10:02
mothers giving birth, but also with that I also read
- 10:02 - 10:05
that they're not really involved in like pregnancy stuff for
- 10:05 - 10:10
like during that stage anyway, so that's kind of happy,
- 10:10 - 10:10
tough for me.
- 10:11 - 10:12
You definitely need support system.
- 10:12 - 10:14
I feel like I just met the nurses, you want
- 10:15 - 10:18
someone there that okay, but that's the culture there.
- 10:19 - 10:23
Um We're gonna go to Iran and this one was
- 10:24 - 10:24
kind of interesting.
- 10:24 - 10:28
So they have a midway for a doctor and walking
- 10:28 - 10:31
before strongly encourage, which I feel like it's kind of
- 10:31 - 10:32
around the world, like a lot of people are going
- 10:32 - 10:34
to walk, but it must be very strongly encouraged.
- 10:35 - 10:39
Um So and then the fathers are also not involved,
- 10:40 - 10:43
which again it's pretty, I guess common around the world,
- 10:43 - 10:46
which is pretty sad because I would definitely want my
- 10:46 - 10:47
husband there at my birth.
- 10:49 - 10:50
All right now we're going to go into Somalia.
- 10:51 - 10:52
This one is also interesting.
- 10:53 - 10:57
So if you lived in a town in Somalia you
- 10:57 - 11:00
give birth in a hospital with and not the hospitals
- 11:00 - 11:02
are right there, but you know you're going to give
- 11:02 - 11:04
birth there, but if you live in the country you're
- 11:04 - 11:06
going to give birth with a midwife, you're going to
- 11:06 - 11:09
have a midwife come to your house and deliver them
- 11:09 - 11:11
there. I'm guessing you're not very close to a hospital
- 11:11 - 11:13
and there's not probably car is there anything that drive
- 11:14 - 11:14
that often in there?
- 11:15 - 11:17
And so they have a midwife come but it said
- 11:18 - 11:21
the midwives are very experienced and know what they're doing.
- 11:21 - 11:23
So I probably would trust the midwife with that too.
- 11:24 - 11:26
So that's how they do it in small.
- 11:26 - 11:28
Um and then the other interesting thing is they don't
- 11:28 - 11:30
leave their house, I just had to add in there.
- 11:30 - 11:31
It's not really a stage two, but they don't leave
- 11:32 - 11:34
their house for 40 days after having a baby.
- 11:34 - 11:35
So that's pretty awesome.
- 11:37 - 11:40
Yeah, so that's all the different breathing techniques around the
- 11:41 - 11:45
world. Now let's go to stage three the last stage
- 11:45 - 11:48
and usually you think ends up stage two but go
- 11:48 - 11:52
stage three and that's placenta separation and this one is
- 11:52 - 11:53
also not very long either.
- 11:53 - 11:55
So what is happening.
- 11:55 - 11:59
So this is the last stage and I'm guessing like
- 11:59 - 12:01
I saw this until I learned this last year in
- 12:01 - 12:01
my class.
- 12:01 - 12:03
I don't even know this is the thing, I never
- 12:03 - 12:05
thought that we have to deliver the placenta.
- 12:06 - 12:10
But you do and so you deliver the placenta and
- 12:10 - 12:13
the remaining biblical cord and any other membranes and stuff.
- 12:14 - 12:15
And this only takes about 15 minutes.
- 12:16 - 12:19
But I've also, when I was researching this, I read
- 12:20 - 12:21
that it is not coming out.
- 12:21 - 12:24
Sometimes doctors have to get their hand in there and
- 12:24 - 12:24
like scoop it.
- 12:25 - 12:27
I hope it doesn't have to happen.
- 12:27 - 12:31
But I also read like right after this, they're gonna
- 12:31 - 12:32
like massage your stomach.
- 12:32 - 12:36
So then every like your orders and everything goes back
- 12:36 - 12:36
to small.
- 12:36 - 12:37
So I thought I add that in there.
- 12:37 - 12:40
It's not in the stage, but I feel like it
- 12:40 - 12:40
should be included in something.
- 12:41 - 12:44
So they like strongly massage your stomach to try to
- 12:44 - 12:46
get everything back down to size so that's kind of
- 12:47 - 12:49
invasive. So that's what that stages.
- 12:51 - 12:55
And looking up this also led me to different uses
- 12:55 - 12:58
of the placenta, which was interesting because I haven't heard
- 12:59 - 12:59
most of these.
- 13:00 - 13:06
Um so I found that some people eat their placenta
- 13:06 - 13:11
and there's many different opinions, but I personally would never
- 13:11 - 13:12
let's look into that.
- 13:13 - 13:14
So I would not eat it.
- 13:14 - 13:19
So some others online, they can make smoothies, they can
- 13:19 - 13:23
make pills, they boil it so they get everything out
- 13:23 - 13:28
and freeze it all that and I looked it up,
- 13:28 - 13:30
see if it's safe or not because that doesn't sound
- 13:31 - 13:32
great to teach their own.
- 13:32 - 13:36
And actually my oh clinic does not recommend doing it
- 13:37 - 13:39
because there could be like diseases and stuff that's in
- 13:39 - 13:42
it and you, it actually said extremely dangerous.
- 13:42 - 13:44
So I don't think it's recommended.
- 13:45 - 13:48
But you know, some of those natural moms out there
- 13:49 - 13:50
might be trying it.
- 13:50 - 13:54
But uh that's interesting to me.
- 13:54 - 13:56
Okay. And then another thing you can do with your
- 13:56 - 13:58
placenta is donate it actually though.
- 13:58 - 13:59
And I don't know this is the thing that you
- 13:59 - 14:03
could donate it to a tissue bank and santa's have
- 14:03 - 14:05
a bunch of nutrients and all that.
- 14:05 - 14:07
So that was quite interesting to me.
- 14:09 - 14:10
And then other uses.
- 14:10 - 14:14
You can make jewelry player sento or placenta are obviously
- 14:15 - 14:15
just stamp it on there.
- 14:16 - 14:17
So that's that.
- 14:19 - 14:22
So that was stage three and that's all the stages
- 14:22 - 14:22
of labor.
- 14:23 - 14:28
So pretty much that's everything that goes on and a
- 14:28 - 14:28
lot of time.
- 14:29 - 14:30
But what happens?
- 14:31 - 14:34
Oh, my sources on here, I will send it to.
- 14:34 - 14:36
Of course I didn't want to go on here.
- 14:36 - 14:37
But thank you
