When the woman has true signs of labour, the midwife initiates the use of the partograph to record her findings. An accurate record during labour provides the basis from which clinical improvements, progress or deterioration of the mother or fetus can be judged and managed as early as possible to prevent maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality (Myles, 2009).
