The cardinal movements of head of baby during its passage through birth canal are called Mechanism of Labor. It is a continuous process of 7 discrete movements which include Engagement, Descent, Flexion, Internal Rotation, Extension, Restitution and External Rotation. Engagement is the passage of widest dimeter of presenting part to a level below the plane of pelvic inlet i-e ischial spines. After engagement, the head descends. It occurs by uterine contraction in the first stage of labor and by uterine contractions and maternal expulsive force in 2nd stage of labor. Anterior shoulder will be delivered by slight downward traction and posterior shoulder in opposite direction. Rest of the baby will be delivered in same or successive contractions.

This Channel is providing knowledge in the field of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Obstetrics is related to medical and surgical care before, during, and after a woman gives birth. Obstetrics focuses on caring for and maintaining a woman’s overall health during maternity. This includes pregnancy, labor, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Gynaecology on the other hand focuses on women’s bodies and their reproductive health. It includes the diagnosis, treatment, and care of women’s reproductive system. This includes vagina, uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. Gynaecology also includes screening for and treating issues associated with women’s breasts. Gynaecology is the overarching field of women’s health from puberty through adulthood. It represents most of the reproductive care you’ll receive during your lifetime. If you become pregnant, you’ll need to go to an obstetrician.
