Journal Title: Journal of Research in Medical and Dental Science - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6

Abstract

Maternal outcomes and prenatal outcomes depend on the mutual reactions between maternal and fetal and environmental factors. One of the influential cases in this field is the funis length. A descriptive analytic study was conducted on 300 pregnant women, who had been admitted in labor section. After placenta expulsion, the length of the funis, placental and birth weight were measured. Gestational age was determined according to maternal LMP and sonography of pregnancy. Meconial amniotic fluid was determined through labor examination in the amniotomy. The result revealed meaningful differences between neonatal height, placental and neonatal weight. No relationship was revealed between the length of funis and the sex of neonate, the situation of Amniotic fluid, and the first minute Apgar score. Considering the deficient that may be available in this study, it is recommended that a study be done in this fiend in other regions of the country and in other countries, in employed women, and in larger samples so that we can achieve comparative or new results in this regard.
