Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a mother is kept from moving and changing position in response to the signals of her body, contractions are likely to become ineffective and labor is more likely to stall. Other consequences of limiting mobility include increased pain, increased use of pain medication, longer labor, increased use of Pitocin for augmentation, and a sense of losing control for the mother. If a mother has preterm labor or severe pregnancy induced hypertension, or if she is using pain medications, she will be restricted to lying in bed. Helping her shift positions in bed can normalize labor.
