3)mid plane of pelvis:anterior-posterior diameter(11.5cm),bi-ischial diameter(10cm)
4)pelvic outlet plane: anterior-posterior diameter(11.5cm), transverse outlet(TO)9cm,anterior sagittal diameter(6cm),posterior sagittal diameter(8.5cm) 5)inclination of pelvis:60º
3 key factors -- fetus
• Fetal position:fetal lie, fetal presentation,
fetal position
• Abnormalitis of the fetus: hydrocephalus,
conjoined twins
Normal mechanisms of labor
• The first stage of labor: to full dilation of
cervix, divided by latent phase(to 3cm) and active phase(to 10cm), total need 11-12 hours in nulliparas or 6-8 hours in multiparas
1)pelvic inlet plane:obstetric conjugate(11cm), transverse of pelvic inlet(13cm), oblique of pelvic inlet(12.75cm
2)the greatest plane of pelvis:12.5cm
