Abstract

Background:Objectives: 1.To establish correlation between Amniotic fluid Optical density (AFOD), gestational age, birth weight and functional maturity of the newborn.2.To obtain mean AFOD at spontaneous onset of labor. 3.To study the functional maturity of the newborns, especially in terms of lung maturity by means of presence or absence of RDS in babies born out of spontaneous labor and in those born by elective termination.
