Cord blood cortisol (Table 6) was used as one of the indicators of fetal health in this study. Umbilical cord blood cortisollevels can be used as an indicator of the fetal stress response to assisted vaginal delivery (Gitau et al., 2001). Cord arterialcortisol varied with mode of delivery, combined spinal and epidural use and pH (Miller, Fisk, Modi, & Glover, 2005). Neonatalplasma cortisol level is lower in the IUGR compared to the AGA group (Strinic, Roje, Marusic, &Capkun, 2007). Maternaland amniotic fluid cortisol was related to birth outcomes and infant emotional development (Baibazarova et al., 2013). Fetalcortisol may be an important predictor of infant outcomes and shed light on mechanisms through which prenatal maternalstress affects infant psychological health. This study indicated that cord blood cortisol level of intervention group and FPgroup is higher than control group irrespective of mode of deliveries (Table 6). The result suggests that cord blood cortisolcan be used as an indicator of intra-uterine fetal mental health status. The postulation that the fetus of intervention groupis living in a less stressful maternal environment and have a better response to give birth can be supported by results of thisstudy.
