Labor and Delivery is the normal, expected outcome for the pregnant woman.

Labor typically begins with the onset of regular, frequent uterine contractions that lead to progressive dilatation and effacement of the cervix, and ultimately descent and expulsion of the fetus.

But there are some predictable complexities to that description that should be individually considered.

• Delivery of the Baby
• Delivery of the Placenta
• Electronic Fetal Monitoring
• Episiotomy
• Fetal Position
• Fetal Presentation
• Initial Evaluation of the Patient in Labor
• Labor
• Management of Early Labor
• Pain Relief During Labor and Delivery
• Postpartum Care
• Second Stage of Labor
