Labour Room
About Labour Room
A Labour Room is a specialised clinical environment designed to support safe, monitored childbirth for both mother and baby.
It is where medical expertise, compassionate care, and preparedness come together to manage normal deliveries as well as respond swiftly to complications when they arise.
Overview
Care within the Labour Room follows a structured, vigilant obstetric protocol:
Step 1: Admission & Maternal Assessment
Expectant mothers are admitted based on labour onset, medical indication, or referral. Initial evaluation includes obstetric history, fetal assessment, cervical examination, and baseline vitals.
Step 2: Monitoring of Mother & Baby
Continuous fetal heart rate monitoring, uterine contraction assessment, maternal blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen levels are closely observed to ensure maternal and fetal wellbeing.
Step 3: Active Labour Management
Labour progression is monitored using evidence-based protocols. Pain management options—including epidural analgesia—are administered when required. Obstetricians and anaesthesiologists remain on standby.
Step 4: Safe Delivery & Immediate Newborn Care
Delivery is conducted under strict aseptic precautions. Immediate newborn assessment, APGAR scoring, thermal care, and neonatal stabilisation are provided.
Step 5: Post-Delivery Observation & Transition
Mother and baby are observed for stability. Postpartum monitoring includes bleeding assessment, uterine contraction evaluation, breastfeeding initiation, and transfer to recovery or postnatal ward.
