Consultant in gynae & obstetric
Normal labor is defined as spontaneous in onset and occurring at term, with vertex presentation and without undue prolongation or complications for the mother and fetus. The document details the stages of labor, including the first stage from the onset of true labor pain to full cervical dilation, the second stage from full dilation to the expulsion of the fetus, and the third stage from fetal expulsion to the delivery of the placenta. It also discusses the characteristics of true versus false labor pains and the expected durations for primigravida and multiparae.
