What Is the Most Dangerous Time of Birth for Uncomplicated First‐Time Mothers and Their Neonates in a Tertiary Obstetric Center?

We detected timepoints when laboratory signs of increased fetal distress were more frequent; although there was no difference in peripartal monitoring, the decision to perform a scalp blood gas analysis or the mode of delivery changed during these periods. On weekends, fetal blood analysis via scalp sampling was carried out less frequently than expected. An increased rate of severe asphyxia or a worse 5-min APGAR was not observed in the neonates at any timepoint. Primiparae should not be underestimated as a supposedly uncomplicated group, as they can present a particular obstetric challenge.
