    Cystitis is usually caused by bacteria from poo getting into the tube that carries urine out of your body (urethra). Women have a shorter urethra than men. This means bacteria are more likely to reach the bladder and cause an infection. Things that increase the chance of bacteria getting into the bladder include:

    1. Having sex.
    2. Wiping your bottom from back to front after going to the toilet.
    3. Urinary catheters (a tube in your bladder used to drain urine).
    4. Using spermicide with contraception.
    5. Conditions that block the urinary tract, such as kidney stones.
    6. Being pregnant.
    7. Conditions that make it difficult to fully empty the bladder, such as an enlarged prostate gland in men.
    8. Having been through menopause.
    9. Having diabetes.
    10. Having a weakened immune system.

    Hegar's sign is a non-sensitive indication of pregnancy in women — its absence does not exclude pregnancy. It pertains to the features of the cervix and the uterine isthmus.

    Hegar’s sign is a non-sensitive indication of pregnancy in women — its absence does not exclude pregnancy. It pertains to the features of the cervix and the uterine isthmus. It is demonstrated as a softening in the consistency of the uterus, and the uterus and cervix seem to be two separate regions.
    The sign is usually present from 4–6 weeks until the 12th week of pregnancy. Hegar’s sign is more difficult to recognize in multiparous women.
    Interpretation: On bimanual examination (two fingers in the anterior fornix and two fingers below the uterus per abdomen), the abdominal and vaginal fingers seem to oppose below the body of the uterus (examination must be gentle to avoid abortion).
    This sign was repeatedly demonstrated and described by Ernst Ludwig Alfred Hegar, a German gynecologist, in 1895. Hegar credited Reinl, one of his assistants, who originally described this sign in 1884.

    Labour has three stages: 1. The first stage is when the neck of the womb (cervix) opens to 10cm dilated. 2. The second stage is when the baby moves down through the vagina and is born. 3.

    Labour has three stages:

    1. The first stage is when the neck of the womb (cervix) opens to 10cm dilated.
    2. The second stage is when the baby moves down through the vagina and is born.
    3. The third stage is when the placenta (afterbirth) is delivered.
    The first stage of labor: dilation
    Before labor starts, your cervix is long and firm. During the first hours of labor, the muscles of the uterus (womb) contract and help shorten and soften the cervix, so that it can dilate (open).
    For first-time mothers, this stage can last from six to 36 hours. During this time you might experience:
    Contractions – some can be quite mild, like a period pain; others can be sharp and strong. Initially, the contractions will be short (between 30 to 40 seconds) and irregular. Once contractions are five minutes apart and a minute or more in length, labor is said to be ‘established’.
    A ‘show’ – the discharge of a plug of mucus that can be thick and stringy or blood-tinged. This may happen the day you go into labor, or up to a week before.
    ‘Breaking of your waters’ – this means the amniotic sac around your baby has ruptured.
    Every labor is different. If you think you could be in labor, the first thing to do is relax and stay calm. The best place for early labor is at home.

    When to ring your lead maternity carer (LMC) or our Labour & Birthing Suite (if you are giving birth at Auckland City Hospital):
    Your contractions are coming every five minutes, lasting longer than 50 seconds, and have been getting stronger for at least two to three hours.
    You have severe or constant abdominal pain with a tight abdomen.
    Your water has broken and it is clear or has a tinge of pink. Put on a sanitary pad and check it after an hour. If it is wet, please ring us.
    Your water has broken and it is green or brown. Call us immediately – you will be advised to come into the hospital.
    If there is a change in the pattern of your baby’s movements.
    You notice any vaginal bleeding – bright red vaginal bleeding is not normal.
    Things to do and try at the hospital:
    Try not to tense up during contractions. Your body is trying to release something, not tighten up.
    Find positions that feel comfortable. Walk the corridors slowly, lean on the walls, use the Swiss ball and La-Z-boy chairs. Try to stay off the bed, unless for a short rest.
    Water is great for relaxation and coping with contractions. If you don’t have use of a pool, try the shower.
    Bring music and a player, if it relaxes or calms you.
    Bring an electric oil burner and use your aromatherapy oil.
    Continue to take refreshments and drink small amounts frequently.
    Phone calls are a distraction from your tasks of giving birth and looking after your new baby. Encourage family and friends to phone one designated person for updates.

    The second stage of labor: your baby
    The second stage of labor begins when the cervix is fully dilated (open) and the baby’s head moves down out of the uterus and into the vagina (or birth canal). Your job at this stage is to push the baby through the birth canal, so you’ll need focused determination and energy.
    The birth of your baby may take 30 minutes to an hour or longer. This second stage could be further extended if you have an epidural.
    A small number of women will require assistance with their births, either by forceps or ventouse (vacuum extraction). The obstetrician will choose which is best for your situation.

    The third stage of labor: the placenta
    The final stage of labor is the delivery of the placenta. There can happen in one of two ways listed below.
    Your LMC can help you to decide which approach would be best for you, taking into consideration your health, how your pregnancy has progressed and the type of labor and birth you experience.

    1. Physiological management
    The physiological third stage means waiting for your placenta to deliver spontaneously with your effort. This may take up to an hour following the birth; while you’re waiting, skin-to-skin with your baby and a first breastfeed will be encouraged.

    2. Active management
    Active management involves injecting an ecbolic (contracting drug) into your leg as your baby’s shoulders are born. The ecbolic speeds up placental separation and your uterus (womb) contracts down to reduce blood loss and ensure your womb remains contracted.

    Labor induction (also known as inducing labor is the stimulation of uterine contractions during pregnancy before labor begins on its own to achieve a vaginal birth.
