Introduction Pregnancy is defined as a gestational process of growth and development of a new individual within a woman. It begins with a process called fertilization. By which out of millions of sperm cells ejaculated by a man only one has the chance to fertilize a females egg cell. Pregnancy is an integral component of human reproduction. For approximately 40 weeks, the still developing human being survives the fragile environment of the uterus. The growth of the fetus requires utmost care on the part of the mother. Any physical and emotional disturbance that affects the mother can have a great impact in intrauterine development. Intrauterine development, therefore, is a dependent process. Anything that affects the mother may adversely affect the development of the fetus. In a country where fertility rate is higher compared to developed countries, it is expected that the government cannot afford to deliver quality health services to majority of its people who cannot pay for private health care. This is reflected in the policies of state-run health care institutions. Mothers expected to deliver NSVD are confined to birthing homes and those with complications are encouraged to deliver in the hospitals. This strategy aims to manage the use of resources and to curb down mortality rates. People are left with few options to choose from. With this problem in mind, it is the duty of the nurse to be flexible at all times. In order to suit clients needs, the nurse has to master the concepts of maternal and child health care so that by the hive problems arise, the best solution is always chosen. As future nurses, it is the responsibility of the proponents to acquaint themselves in this field of nursing practice in order to function competently. In order to suit clients needs, the nurse has to master the concepts of maternal and child health care so that by the hive problems arise, the best solution is always chosen. This study includes the patients profile, an overview of the three periods, Nursing Care Management, Health Teaching, and Referrals. Although this study cannot be considered comprehensive, it is still a reflection of the clients health focused on reproductive wellness.
Labor is a series of events by which uterine contractions and abdominal pressure expel a fetus and placenta from a pregnant woman. During pregnancy, the uterus consists of a large number of greatly hypertrophied smooth cells. Each cell is activated by a series of chemical reaction to begin regular contractions in a highly coordinated manner and with such force that the cervix is dilated and the expulsion of the baby and placenta occur. Several mechanisms are involved in initiating and maintaining the labor. However the precise trigger of labor is unknown.
1. First Stage (Dilatation stage) From the onset of first contraction through labor contractions to full cervical dilatation. This stage averages about thirteen hours for a primipara and about eight hours for multipara. It composed of 3 Phases: Latent Phase , Active Phase and Transition Phase. 2. Second Stage (Delivery stage) The period from fully dilated cervix to the delivery or expulsion of the baby 3. Third Stage (Placental stage) Begins in the delivery of the placenta 3 signs of placental expulsion: 1. Calkins sign 2. Sudden gush of the blood 3. Lengthening of the cord 4. Fourth Stage (Recovery stage) The First 1 to 4 hours after birth of the placenta.
A. THEORIES OF LABOR
When progesterone (uterine muscle relaxant) decrease in late pregnancy with corresponding increase in estrogen (uterine muscle stimulant), labor starts. 2. Oxytocin Theory The pressure of the fetal head on the cervix in late pregnancy stimulates the posterior pituitary gland to secrete oxytocin which causes uterine contractions. 3. Estrogenic, Fetal Hormone and Prostaglandin Theory All these have stimulating effect on uterine musculature causing uterine motility. 4. Theory of the Aging Placenta As the pressure matures, more and more pressure is exerted on the fundal portion, the usual placental site and the most contractile portion of the uterus. It is believed that the resultant diminished blood supply to the area causes contraction. 5. Uterine Stretch Theory The most acceptable theory. As the uterine muscles get stretched with fetal growth and increasing amniotic fluid, irritability and contraction to empty the contents of the uterus are likely results. B. Components of Labor 1. Passageway refers to the adequacy of the womans pelvis and birth canal in allowing fetal descent. 2. Passenger refers to the fetus and its ability to move through the passageway. 3. Powers refers to frequency, duration and strength of uterine contractions to cause complete cervical effacement and dilatation. 4. Person refers to the pregnant womens general behavior and influences upon her influences labor progress.
Mechanisms of Labor 1. Engagement Refers to the setting of the presenting part of the fetus far enough into the pelvis to be at the level of the ischial spine, a midpoint of the pelvis. 2. Descent Is the downward movement of the biparietal diameter of the fetal head to within the pelvic inlet. Full descent occurs when the fetal head extrude beyond the dilated cervix and touches the posterior vaginal floor. The pressure of the fetus on the sacral nerves causes the mother to experience a pushing sensation. Descent occurs because of the pressure on the fetus by the uterine fundus. 3. Flexion As descent occurs, pressure form the pelvic floor causes the fetal head to bend forward onto the chest. The smaller anteropostreior diameter (the suboccipitobregmatic diameter) is the one presented to the birth canal in this flexed position. Flexion is aided by abdominal muscle contraction during pushing. 4. Internal Rotation During descent, the head enters the pelvis with the fetal anteroposterior head diameter in a diagonal or transverse position the head flexes as it touches the pelvic floor, and the occiput rotates until it is superior, or just below the symphysis pubis, bringing the head into the best diameter for the outlet of the pelvis. 5. Extension As the occiput is born, the back of the neck stops beneath the pubic arch and acts as a pivot for the rest of the head. The head thus extend, and the foremost parts of the head, the face, and the chin, are born. 6. External Rotation In external rotation, almost immediately after the head of the infant is born, the head rotates back to the diagonal or transverse position of the early part of labor. The
after coming shoulders are thus brought into anteroposterior position, which is best for entering the outlet. The anterior shoulder is born first, assisted perhaps by downward flexion of infants head. 7. Expulsion Once the shoulders are born, the rest of the baby is born easily and smoothly because of its smaller size. This is expulsion and is the end of the pelvic division of labor. True Labor versus False Labor
False Contractions 1. Began and remain irregular 2. First abdominally and remain confined to the abdomen and groin 3. Often disappear with ambulation and sleep 4. Do not increase in duration, frequency or intensity 5. Do not achieve cervical dilatation
True Contractions 1. Begin irregularly but become regular and predictable 2. Felt first in lower back and sweep around to the abdomen in a wave 3.Continue no matter what woman s level of activity 4. Increase in duration, frequency and intensity 5. Achieve cervical dilatation

These drugs were as follow: Co-amoxiclav 500mg 1 cap BID, Mefenamic acid 500mg I cap PRN, Ferrous sulfate1 cap OD PO. Patient was also taught the rationale of each medication and its possible side effects. Medications should be taken religiously. Strict compliance must be observed
EXERCISE
Encouraged patient to avoid extraneous activities to prevent exhaustion. Encourage also performing activity gradually such as walking to improve blood circulation, maintain good body posture, relieves pain and promotes comfort. Patient was also taught and encouraged to do deep breathing exercises to maximize lung expansion for proper oxygenation.
TREATMENT
Encouraged the patient to follow strict regimen in cleaning the perineal area. Patient was also taught to use alternative herbal medicine to wash her perineal area such as boiling the guava leaves.
OUT PATIENT
Advised the patient to return one week after discharge on January 21, 2011 on OPD. In addition, the check-up will note any changes in the health status of the patient for further analysis.
DIET
Advised the patient to eat fruits and vegetables especially those rich in protein for it repair the tissue and prevent further tissue breakdown. This includes fish, meat and eggs. Also foods rich in iron to prevent anemia. This also boosts the immune system to fight against infection.
