Abstract

The energy expenditure in 23 healthy parturient women during spontaneous labor was assessed by continuous measurement of their O₂ consumption and CO₂ production. Due to the intermittent character of uterine contractions, normal labor and delivery did not impose high energy demands on the parturient, whereas a prolonged labor and delivery in which energy input was high led to maternal metabolic disturbances.
