In a secondary analysis of a multicenter randomized study of fetal pulse oximetry, of 4,126 nulliparous women who reached the second stage of labor, none of the following neonatal outcomes was found to be related to the duration of the second stage, which in some cases was 5 hours or more: 5 - minute Apgar score of less than 4, umbilical artery pH less than 7.0, intubation in the delivery room, need for admission to the neonatal intensive care unit, or neonatal sepsis (27

It is unfair that midwives don't carry insurance, and families can go after hospitals and win, even though had the
woman come while
in early stages of
labor to hospital, the
outcome would have been very different
for the unborn baby.
Women who have a CNM with them during labor and delivery have fewer interventions, such as continuous electronic fetal monitoring, epidurals, and episiotomies, without any difference in the outcomes for women or their ba
