Abstract

Seeds of plants of family: Leguminosae contain a majority of globulins protein (SG) which could be divided into both 11S and 7S globulins subunits..

Highlights

The conventional 2-hour rule of the second stage of labour dates to the 1800’s and is defined as the period between full cervical dilatation of 10 cm and the birth of the baby [1,2,3,4]
After controlling for the confounders, operative delivery is independently associated with increasing duration of SSOL (P
Overall, we observed that when the second stage of labour progressed beyond1hour, there remained a relatively high probability of achieving vaginal delivery

Summary

Introduction

The conventional 2-hour rule of the second stage of labour dates to the 1800’s and is defined as the period between full cervical dilatation of 10 cm and the birth of the baby [1,2,3,4]. The epidemiology of the length of labour was reported by Friedman in several landmark articles over 60 years ago that are very much respectfully and academically accepted to date [2,3]. These studies changed modern obstetrics; most they led to specific normative guidelines on the length of the first and second stages of labour. The second stage of labour begins from full dilatation of the cervix up to the birth of the singleton baby or the last baby in a multiple pregnancy entailing a process of descent, rotation and expulsive or propulsive efforts. The ideal management of the second stage should maximize the probability of vaginal delivery while minimizing the risks of maternal morbidity and mortality
