Precipitous labor is defined as expulsion of the fetus within less than 3 hours of commencement of regular contractions.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It has been supposed to result from an abnormally low resistance of the soft pass of birth canal, from abnormally strong uterine and abdominal contractions, or rarely from the absence of painful sensations.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The women with precipitate deliveries were more likely to be younger, at lower gestational age of delivery, without oxytocin use, lower birth weight of infant, and hypertensive disorders as compared to those without precipitate deliveries.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In an earlier study by Sheiner et al [3], precipitous labor was associated with some maternal complications including perineal lacerations, postpartum hemorrhage, retained placenta, hemotransfusion and prolonged hospitalization.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In this study, at last, precipitous labor was not associated with maternal or neonatal outcomes. The current result supports the previous observations.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Regular Maternity Reflexology treatment throughout pregnancy brings balance to all systems of the body, dramatically reducing the risk of Precipitous Birth. In instances of multi-parous women who have previously experienced Precipitous Birth, specific protocols are available to help the body stabilize for the Birth process to avoid re-occurrence.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
