    Mothers admitted for labor in the early morning had lower oral temperatures, aligning with natural daily temperature dips. This finding suggests admission timing, not labor duration, influences initial temperature readings.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics
    • Physiology
    • Maternal Health

    Background:

    • Normal body temperature is a key health indicator.
    • Diurnal variations in human body temperature are well-documented.
    • Understanding factors influencing maternal temperature during labor is crucial for accurate assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between oral temperature on admission and the duration of labor.
    • To determine if admission timing affects maternal oral temperature readings.

    Main Methods:

    • Collected oral temperature data from women upon admission for labor.
    • Analyzed labor onset times and correlated them with temperature readings.
    • Used linear regression to assess the relationship between temperature and labor duration.

    Main Results:

    • Labor onset showed a diurnal pattern, peaking from midnight to 2 AM.
    • Mean admission temperature (97.8°F) was significantly lower than the reference 98.6°F.
    • No statistically significant correlation was found between oral temperature and labor duration.

    Conclusions:

    • Lower admission temperatures may be linked to the nadir of diurnal temperature variation during morning admissions.
    • Admission timing, rather than labor duration, appears to influence initial oral temperature measurements.
    • The study highlights the importance of considering diurnal rhythms in clinical temperature assessments during labor.
