[The ideal time for delivery].
The authors analyze the results of a three-year study of the variations of the degree of fetal distress according to the time of spontaneous delivery. The degree of fetal distress during labour is definitely high if the delivery takes place during the 42nd week. In primipara, where labour lasts more than 6 hours, this results in a level of cesarean sections due to fetal distress after 41 weeks which is significantly high (P less than 0.001) compared to the preceding three weeks. The authors conclude that, in terms of minimum fetal distress, the ideal delivery time would be before 41 full weeks of amenorrhea; as for the stagnation of the dilatation, the same observation is made.
