ABSTRACT

This is usually an A3 sheet, which provides a graphical record of labour. It is are often the most comprehensive record that is kept and may contain information that is not recorded in other documents. Great care must be taken in photocopying, so that nothing is missed; if photocopying is at A4 size, the two halves must be capable of being matched together. Figure 3.5 shows a typical partogram, completed for a fairly uneventful labour.
