There is no controversy regarding the definition of the 2nd stage of labor: it is the phase of labor from 10 cm until complete delivery of the child. However, there has been persistent controversy about what defines a prolonged 2nd stage of labor. In other words, are the hour limits stated by the ACOG “active pushing” or “total duration” in 2nd stage? 🤔 Historically, this has been a very gray area. Even though we have guidance on this going back to 2014 with the ACOG Obstetric Care Consensus 1, “Safe Prevention of the Primary C-Section”, certain phrases within that document caused confusion. Does the ACOG make a distinction between active vs passive 2nd stage of labor? Listen in and find out. 🎙️🎙️🎙️
