Here are the short procedure steps with normal findings to write on the page:
5. Obstetric Examination:
A. General Examination
- Assess general condition → Well-nourished, conscious, cooperative
- Check pallor, icterus, cyanosis, clubbing, oedema → Absent
- Vital signs → Pulse: 80/min, BP: 110/70 mmHg, Temp: 98.6°F, RR: 18/min
- Measure height & weight → BMI within normal range
B. Abdominal Examination
Inspection:
5. Observe shape → Ovoid uterus, abdomen uniformly distended
6. Check umbilicus → Central, slightly flattened
7. Note skin changes → Linea nigra & striae gravidarum present
8. Observe foetal movements → Visible
Palpation – Leopold's Manoeuvres:
9. 1st grip (Fundal): Place both hands on fundus → Soft, irregular mass = Breech at fundus
10. 2nd grip (Lateral): Palpate sides of uterus → Firm, smooth resistance on one side = Foetal back
11. 3rd grip (Pawlik's): Grasp lower uterus → Hard, round, ballottable = Head presenting, not engaged
12. 4th grip (Pelvic): Face patient's feet, press into pelvis → Confirms engagement; 2/5 palpable = engaged
13. Measure fundal height → Corresponds to period of gestation
14. Check liquor amount → Adequate
Percussion:
15. Percuss over uterus → Dull note
Auscultation:
16. Place Pinard's stethoscope / Doppler below umbilicus on foetal back side
17. Count FHS for 1 minute → 140 bpm, regular rhythm ✓
C. Vaginal Examination (only if indicated)
18. Inspect external genitalia → Normal, no lesions
19. Per vaginum → Cervix soft, posterior, closed (not in labour) / dilated ___ cm (in labour)
20. Assess presenting part → Head at station 0 / engaged
21. Check membranes → Intact
22. Assess pelvis → Clinically adequate
Summary: Uterus term size, cephalic presentation, engaged, FHS 140 bpm regular, not in active labour.
