thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Osmosis Wikipedia-editing course Summer 2022

message: This article has a few discrepancies in terminology such as there being three stages instead of four. I have changed a few vocabulary words to be more socially appropriate. There is a lot of information which may be better organized. Some points such as "birthing attendants" and their roles should be clarified better. Some sources are outdated and statistics need to be updated. A few categories, such as pain management need to be added to more. Mekuix (talk) 01:00, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Work plan for Osmosis Nursing Wikipedia-editing course Summer 2022 

message: Great article with good content across the different areas. It could benefit some small comments, but very minor corrections. I think it would benefit from a reading from top-to-bottom to make it sound like a single author. Other than that, an small epidemiology section would be very interesting and important for this topic. Other than that, great article! Congratulations! Sacalle96 (talk) 00:44, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the review.  I made some changes in order to move info to create an epidemiology section and will continue to work on it.  And then--you know how it goes--reading through the entire article, which I have not done for a few years, I see a few things that are needed.  In Europe they have better care and better death rates--likely  at least in part related to the use of midwives.  So I'm doing a little research and may put it in epidemiology or start a new section.  I might move C-sections to epidemiology and discuss how they often are not needed and do increase the death rate, etc.  Any ideas from others?  Sectionworker (talk) 19:48, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Comments Wikipedia summer course Osmosis 

message: A new section has been added  and I suggest that for the most part it be removed.   The section Associated occupations already covers a lot of  it.  Some of it that is not sourced is doubtful, for example, "The most critical support role in labour and delivery is the bedside labour and delivery nurse."  I'd like to see this sourced in other but a nursing textbook.  You are not going to find overworked nurses helping a woman in labor to order her meal, etc.  Some of the stuff at the end is good and we should try to work it in somewhere.  I have copied it:
=== Support Roles ===
A few support roles you can expect to see when giving birth vaginally in a hospital are an obstetrician/gynecologist, a midwife, multiple nurses, friends and family (although visitor limitations have been limited in many facilities to only one person due to the ongoing pandemic.  The most critical support role in labour and delivery is the bedside labour and delivery nurse. This nurse continuously monitors vital signs of the parent and baby and supports the birthing parent throughout the entire labour. The nurse is responsible for other tasks such as helping the patient ambulate, breath, order food, and use the bathroom. Another critical role of the labour and delivery nurse is to call for and report to the obstetrician or midwife any changes in the labour, concerns, or complications. Without the nurse the gynecologist or midwife would not know when to come in to see that specific patient as they are typically checking in on many patients at once.
Obstetric care frequently subjects women to institutional routines, which may have adverse effects on the progress of labour. Supportive care during labour may involve emotional support, comfort measures, and information and advocacy which may promote the physical process of labour as well as women's feelings of control and competence, thus reducing the need for obstetric intervention. The continuous support may be provided either by hospital staff such as nurses or midwives, doulas, or by companions of the woman's choice from her social network. A 2015 Cochrane review that examined debriefing interventions for women who perceived childbirth as traumatic failed to find any evidence to support routine debriefing as a needed intervention after childbirth. There is increasing evidence to show that the participation of the child's father in the birth leads to a better birth and also post-birth outcomes, providing the father does not exhibit excessive anxiety.
Continuous labour support may help women to give birth spontaneously, that is, without caesarean or vacuum or forceps, with slightly shorter labours, and to have more positive feelings regarding their experience of giving birth. Continuous labour support may also reduce women's use of pain medication during labour and reduce the risk of babies having low five-minute Agpar scores.Sectionworker (talk) 13:21, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
