Assessment of maternal wellbeing
During labour and delivery, after your thorough initial evaluation, maternal wellbeing is followed by measuring the mother's vital signs: blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and urine output.
Blood pressure is measured every four hours.
Pulse is recorded every 30 minutes.
Temperature is recorded every 2 hours.
Urine output is recorded every time urine is passed.
If you identify persistent deviations from the normal range of any of these measurements, refer the mother to a higher health facility.
