During Stage 1 of labor, the focus is on the dilation and effacement of the cervix, monitoring the baby's position, and preparing for delivery. An amniotomy (artificial rupture of membranes) may be performed to induce or accelerate labor. Monitoring cervical progression is essential to determine how labor is progressing. Assessing fetal presentation is crucial to identify the baby's position and plan for delivery. Coaching on pushing and clamping the umbilical cord occur in later stages of labor.
