Does anyone know what the 5 P's of labor?

I'm sorry if this has already been asked and I'm sorry if it's a silly question, but I need some help quick!

I have to write an intrapartal reflective paper. In it I have to discuss the measures taken to teach the woman and her partner about the five "P's" of labor from admission to birth. I've looked everywhere and I'm sure that no one has ever even talked about this in class or the text. :uhoh3:

Help???

Thanks to anyone who answers!

    The Ps are what it takes to get the baby out

    I'll give you a couple, but I don't know what #5 is off the top of my head:

    passage (pelvis and birth canal)

    powers (sometimes also called pain, it's referring to contractions)

    passenger (aka baby)

    psyche (mother's emotions, etc)

    Passage, powers, psyche, passenger, and people (the ones who help). This was the answer on our labor and birth test. Might want to double check on the 'people' one.

    Position I think is the 5th.

    Edited to say nevermind, I looked it up in my book b/c I wasn't sure and there are only 4 P's listed so I dont know.
