LABOURING: IN THE PROCESS OF DREAM BIRTHING




The process of labour (parturition) is divided into three stages and we would be discussing the first stage in this blog post.
This is the stage in which dilatation of the cervical os (i.e. the opening of the cervix which is the most inferior portion of the uterus in women) occurs, from concept zero to full cervical os dilatation of 10cm in a parturient at term.

 REPRESENTS THE MOMENT AN INDIVIDUAL BECOMES PREGNANT WITH A THOUGHT.


During this stage, the individual (i) thinks, (ii) catches and (iii) buys the dream.

The first stage of labour is characterized by 2 phases:
(i) Latent Phase- This is the prodromal phase because it presents symptoms that indicate that labour is about to start. It is symptomized by:

• Mild-moderate contractions which are increasingly uncomfortable and sometimes painful. These can be correlated with the process of piecing together the thoughts that comprise a dream as they occur to you. As labour progresses, however, the contractions become regular and closer.

• Cervical effacement start; with the cervix moving from posterior to anterior.

• Cervical os dilates from between 0-3cm (primigravida- 1st pregnancy) and 0-4cm (multigravida- 2nd or more pregnancy).

 It is correlated with the stretching capacity of one’s brain in response to the thoughts that comprise a dream. 
Now, a 1st time dreamer (primigravida) might not respond as quickly as one who isn’t (multigravida)

• Normal latent phase lasts for a maximum of 8hours, during which the emergence of the features of active phase occurs.

• Prolonged latent phase refers to when the duration of this phase exceeds 8hours but is less than 24hours.

However, if it exceeds 24hours, false labour is diagnosed. False labour could either be contractile (with uterine contractions of at least 1 every 10mins) or non-contractile (with no uterine contractions whatsoever or with frequency of recorded uterine contractions being less than 1 every ten mins) and usually transforms into active phase within a few hours, days or weeks.

(ii) Active Phase: Also referred to as established labour. It can be extrapolated with catching and buying a dream. It involves dilatation of the cervical os of an already effaced cervix from 3 or 4cm to full cervical os dilatation of 10cm
• In the primigravida, there are contractions of a minimum frequency of 1 in 10mins, a 100% effacement of cervix and cervical os which is at least 3cm dilated, irrespective of fetal presentation, descent or station of the presenting part
• In the multigravida, there are uterine contractions of 1 in 10mins, at least 50% cervical effacement and a cervical os that’s at least 4cm dilated irrespective of the fetal presentation, descent or the station of the presenting part.
• The strong uterine contractions that dominate the active phase of labour effect the cervical os dilatation, propelling the fetus from the uterine cavity by gradual descent, finally resulting in expulsion of fetus and placenta per vaginam i.e.
 WHAT A NORMAL ACTIVE PHASE BECOMES IS DETERMINED BY APPROPRIATENESS OF UTERINE CONTRACTIONS, LIKEWISE CATCHING AND BUYING A DREAM PROPERLY IS DETERMINED BY HOW MUCH TIME WE PUT INTO THE ADEQUATE DEVELOPMENT OF PASSION AND A PROPELLANT FOR THAT.

#MONDAY’S PROSE THIS CHILD; ON THE ROAD

Through my myopic eyes, a fleeting image of a little boy is formed on my retina A little boy in a little suit, Treading the familiar bushy routes before him The boy had neither escort nor directives And surely, he needed none For a 4 yr old on the road possesses more maturity than a 10 year old in ‘comfort’ Swiftly, she navigated through cars held in traffic An adventurous smile tugging at her split lips Providing snacks for impatient car-owners And though panting from car-chasing, She had a visible life of passionate content She probably planned to get off the street, Forsake her hypothetical ‘street-urchin boyfriend’, Give up this demeaning way of living, But I feared she wouldn’t! She hadn’t been wired to get off the street And sadly, she was too content to stage a forced exit. Children on the road and teenagers of the road, Not choosing to be this vulnerable Yet hooded and shrouded in the cold, Filled with shreds of hope that the fut...

#POETRY# MOMENTS

So, it’s another Monday. Today’s poem is on moments, appreciating them and taking second looks at the seemingly mundane. Enjoy! MOMENTS You never know, you just never know There he was last night, holding your hands, Looking into your eyes with passion beyond expression, And then; here he was this morning, telling a sad tale of never! Who knew love could become so tasteless overnight? It had seemed over in less than a flash; So much for the deep love you shared. Where it all ends, you just never know! Memories of baby’s not so far away childhood, Flickered before her eyes like a dimly lit flame Was it not just last summer she had started crawling? And in what appeared to be less than 24hours, She had walked, jumped and taken sandwiches to school And now, she fit smugly into a graduation gown, cape and all, Her baby was now a grown woman And those memories were all she had left! He stroked her tapered fingers lovingly as he wept by her beds...

SALIENT LESSONS FROM THE CORONARY ARTERIES The coronary arteries provide blood supply to the heart, the blood pump. Some of its duties are outlined and deductions are saliently made from them. 1.       REPLENISHMENT: The first lesson to take from the coronary artery is that it replenishes the heart. While performing the work of pumping blood to other tissues, the cardiac muscle is replenished by means of its 2 coronary arteries. 2.       DIRECTLY SOURCED: The coronary arteries, unsurprisingly, take origin from the aorta, the main artery leaving the left ventricle, carrying oxygenated blood to all branch arteries of the human body. Thus, it originates from the principal source of maximally oxygenated blood; this points to the fact that it reveres impartation and not opinions. 3.       PERFUSION: The coronary arteries ensure that blood gets to every part of the heart by means of its several branches. Branc...
