Labor Terms: What Do They Mean?
|
I'm 30 weeks pregnant and I'm trying to get ready for labor and delivery. On the baby birth shows they use terms like crowning, effaced, plus one, thinning, etc. I'm not sure what everything means. Can you help to explain these labor terms?

hi there dear, the terms are easy to be find as long as you do a research looking for what the terms means, most of the health sites usualy have a list with what means these terms, crowning is when the baby head has passed the birh canal and he is in the position to come out, effaced is what is use to determinate how much your cervix is ready to be pushing,the other terms are specific for describe the changes on the labor about the cervix. hope it will help you.

crowning occurs when When the baby's head has passed through the birth canal.
Effacement-this is use by people to describe the thinning of the cervix during pregnancy. plus one means Men Medical Supplies.thinning in the cervix is an indication that the lower uterine segment is preparing for birth.
I think i have just give a brief of it. so kindly see your midwife for more information.

crowning normally occurs when When the baby's head is about to has passed through the birth canal.
Effacement-this is use by people to describe the thinning of the cervix during pregnancy period. Thinning in the cervix is an indication that the lower uterine segment is preparing for birth so that pregnant woman should get ready.
I think i have just give a brief of it. so kindly see your midwife for more information about it or yo can even see the doctor self.
