    This study monitored uterine contractions, fetal heart rate, and acid-base balance during normal labor. Findings show fetal heart rate changes and acidosis during the expulsive phase, highlighting feto-maternal relationships.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Normal labor involves complex physiological changes in both mother and fetus.
    • Monitoring key parameters during labor is crucial for assessing fetal well-being and maternal response.
    • Understanding these dynamics aids in identifying potential complications and optimizing delivery outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To statistically analyze uterine contraction parameters, fetal heart rate, acid-base balance, and glycaemia during spontaneous normal labor.
    • To correlate physiological changes with cervical dilatation and labor progression.
    • To investigate the feto-maternal relationship during different stages of labor.

    Main Methods:

    • A statistical study involving 30 patients undergoing spontaneous normal labor.

  • Parameters measured at 2 cm intervals of cervical dilatation included uterine contractions, fetal heart rate, acid-base balance, and glycaemia.
  • Analysis focused on mean values and 95% confidence limits for uterine contraction parameters.

    • Main Results:

    • Uterine contractility parameters were documented throughout labor progression.
    • Fetal heart rate remained stable during cervical dilation but showed alterations during the expulsive phase.
    • Fetal and maternal acid-base balance exhibited minimal changes during dilation, with a trend towards acidosis in the expulsive phase, alongside glycaemia changes.

    Conclusions:

    • The expulsive phase of labor presents a significant trial for the fetus, evidenced by heart rate alterations.
    • The observed changes in acid-base balance and glycaemia underscore the critical feto-maternal relationship during labor.
    • These findings provide valuable insights into the physiological adaptations during normal labor progression.
