Description
The First Stage of Labour Chart is an educational maternal health poster designed to explain the initial phase of childbirth when the cervix begins to dilate and efface in preparation for delivery. This stage starts with the onset of regular uterine contractions and continues until the cervix is fully dilated to 10 cm. The chart provides clear guidance for nursing students, midwives, and healthcare professionals on recognizing labour progression and monitoring maternal and fetal wellbeing.
