Method of delivery will determine the test

Researchers in Sweden have developed a new test for pregnant women. It allows you to determine which way a woman would - by caesarean section or natural way.

Swedish scientists have found a way to identify, mode of delivery How the baby will be born. They found that a crucial role is played here by the level of lactic acid in the body of the mother. If it is elevated, it is unlikely that a woman will give birth naturally. Studies have shown that the uterus produces lactic acid   Like other muscles when they are in a state of activity. But when the lactic acid reaches a certain level, it begins to "slow down" the contractions.

Level Measurement lactic acid It will decide in favor of delivery method   make a choice.

Scientists have conducted a series of clinical trials, the program which was developed by the Swedish company Obstecare. In their studies, they relied on existing data of scientific research experts from Liverpool (UK). At present, these tests are already beginning to be implemented in several European hospitals.

According to scientists, the test system will help reduce the number of surgical procedures when they are not needed and, on the contrary, to speed up deliveries and limit the suffering of women.
