This is the exact manikin we used in class last night! Learning how to ASSIST in delivering a child is so cool! I don't know why, but this was the part of the class I have been looking forward to the most! It was awesome!
I put emphasis on how as EMT's we ASSIST in delivery, we didn't "deliver" the baby...mom did that work!
Here's a close up and of the inside! The red circular thing that is hooked to the baby by the umbilical cord is the placenta which attaches to the inside on the uterine wall.Stages of Delivery:
1. contractions to complete dilation of the cervix to 10 cm.
2. complete dilation to complete delivery of the child.
3. complete delivery of the child to complete delivery of the placenta.
