Special Issue on Labor and Delivery

"Labor and Delivery" refers to the study of the process by which a baby is born, from the onset of labor to the delivery of the fetus. This field encompasses multidisciplinary knowledge from obstetrics, gynecology, anatomy, physiology, psychology and nursing. Researchers in this field study different aspects of labor and delivery, including the mechanisms of labor, regulation of contractions, predicting labor onset, pain management, interventions for complicated labor, fetal monitoring, maternal and fetal well-being during labor and delivery, postnatal care, and perinatal outcomes. Researchers in this field may also investigate new techniques or technologies to improve labor and delivery outcomes, such as non-pharmacologic pain management, advanced fetal monitoring techniques, and alternative birthing positions. The aim of research in this field is to promote safe and healthy childbirth practices, improve outcomes for mothers and infants.
