The assessment finding which is most important as labor progresses is the uterus relaxing completely between contractions during pregnancy.
<h3>What is Uterus?</h3>
This is also referred to as womb and is the location where the fetus grows and develops during pregnancy. The uterus is also described as a hollow organ with muscular walls and also performs other functions as menstruation, and as a secondary sex organ in females.
During labor, the uterus undergoes some form of contraction movementswhich leads to its relaxing so as to enable the fetus pass to the birth canal. It is then expunged to the vagina where the health professional can take safe delivery of the baby.
This is the therefore the main reason why this assessment is very important during labor.
