THIRD STAGE OF LABOUR

The third stage of labor involves the separation and expulsion of the placenta and it's membrane. The third stage is most important because it is a primary factor in determining whether postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) will occur.
There is a significant risk of haemorrhage during this stage. All patients require close monitoring and routine prevention of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH).

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) refers to excessive blood loss following labor and delivery, and it is one of the leading factors resulting in maternal morbidity and death. It is estimated to be the cause of death for 99% mothers who die due to childbirth from developing or undeveloped countries, and of these, about one-third do so as a direct result of PPH.

For this reason, the duration of the third stage has been intensively studied. It normally lasts anywhere between 5 minutes to an hour, depending upon whether it is actively managed or allowed to progress spontaneously.

FIRST STAGE OF LABOUR
Labour is the physiological process by which the fetus, placenta and its membrane are expelled through the birth canal.

First stage of labor is the longest phase of childbirth and can be divided into three phases: latent phase, active phase and transitional phase.

1. Latent phase
Is often refers to as Early labor, it can last for several hours, especially for first-time mothers. It typically begins with mild and irregular contractions that may feel like menstrual cramps. These contractions gradually become regular, stronger and closer together.
During this phase, the cervix (which is the opening to the uterus) begins to efface (ie thin out) and dilate (open up). At this point You might notice a bloody show (a small amount of blood-tinged mucus). This phase ends when the cervix is 4cm dilated.
It is very important to communicate with your healthcare provider and follow their guidance on when to go to the hospital or birthing center.

2. Active phase
In this phase contractions become more intense, it last longer, and its frequent (usually every 3-5 minutes). The cervix continues to dilate from about 4 centimeters to 8 centimeters. You may feel more pressure and discomfort in your lower back and abdomen.

3. Transitional phase
This is the shortest but most intense phase
In this phase Contractions reaches its peak, intensify and is more frequent. The cervix fully dilates from 8 to 10 centimeters. You might feel nauseous, shaky, or hot and cold flashes. Many women experience strong urges to push during this phase.

Throughout the first stage of labor, it's crucial to stay hydrated, rest between contractions, and use relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises or massages.
