C. ASSIST IN DELIVERY OF THE BABY
1. Encourage mother to breathe deeply through her mouth. She may feel better if she pants. 2. When the infant's head appears during crowning, place fingers on the bony part of skull and exert slight pressure to prevent an explosive delivery. Use caution to avoid "soft spot" (fontanelle.) 3. If the amniotic sac does not break, or has not broken, use a clamp or your finger to puncture the sac and push it away from the infant's head and mouth as they appear. * perform episiotomy at the peak of contraction and while the mother has urge to push 4. As the infant's head is being born, determine if the umbilical cord is around the infant's neck. a. If the umbilical cord is around the infant's neck, slip it over the shoulder or clamp, cut, and unwrap b. Umbilical cord must be clamped and cut if it is wrapped too tightly around the infant's neck. 5. After the infant's head is born, support the head, suction the mouth first then the nostrils two or three times with a bulb syringe if available 6.

Place the second clamp 2 to 3 cm below the first, approximately 4 fingers width from infant e. Cut the cord between the clamps or knots using sterile surgical scissors CAUTION: NEVER unclamp a cord once it has been cut, or attempt to adjust a clamp once it is in place. 12.Observe for delivery of the placenta 13.When the placenta is delivered, note the time, unclamped and put it in the receptacle or container.
