Mode of delivery according to fetal and maternal status

Abstract

At Danderyd Hospital, the deliveries amount to around 5 000 per year. The delivery department is divided into two sections. In the section for normal deliveries there are six labour rooms. The patients, who go to that part, are carefully selected: women with uncomplicated pregnancies between 38 and 42 weeks of gestation, and a normal start of labour. In the other section, comprising 8 delivery rooms, all other patients are tended to. The midwives alternate between both sections, usually for one year at a time.
