Abstract
The deliveries of 47 primiparae were studied. Cases where labour was influenced by pathological obstetrical states (e.g. toxemia, pre- and postmaturity, premature rupture of membranes, malpresentation of foetus) or obstetrical intervention (e.g. induction of labour and obstetrical operations other than perineotomy), had been excluded from the sample. Time from first painful uterine contraction to birth of child and rate of cervical dilatation were recorded and compared to data regarding the mental adaptation of the woman. Indications of conflicts in the reproductive sphere without adaptational processes taking place during pregnancy were observed to be connected with long time in labour and slow cervical dilatation.
