The 5 Ps of labor
passenger (fetus)
passageway (the birth passage)
powers (physiological forces of labor)
position (relation between fetus and passage)
psychological considerations
attitude
relationship of the fetus' body parts to one another
-is the umbilical cord around the neck
lie
how the spine of fetus corresponds with the spine of the mother
-want the spines opposite
-OA: occiput anterior
presentation
part that is encountered first when doing a vaginal exam
-head or buttocks
position
how the part of the fetus corresponds to the mother's pelvis
,engagement
fetal presenting part is settled in mother's pelvis
station
fetal presenting part as it relates to ischial spines (narrowest/hardest point to push through)
0 is at the ischial spines
negative goes up
positive is the baby moving down

estimate their birth weight
-first maneuver feels for buttocks and head
-next palpating which side the fetal back is on
-third determines presentation by palpating above symphysis pubis
-final determines attitude through downward pressure in direction of symphysis pubis
false pelvis
outer aspect of pelvic bones
true pelvis
inner space the fetus must progress through
optimal pelvic shape
gynecoid
, Every Day Fine Infants Enter Eager & Excited
engagement
descent
flexion: tilt forward, chin to chest
internal rotation: turning sideways to fit though pelvis
extension: head bend back
external rotation: back to neutral position
expulsion
