This evidence suggests that 32 of the 88 women who had suspected delay made progress in the subsequent 2 hours, and did not have their delay confirmed. Their mode of birth was one caesarean section, 11 instrumental births, and 20 SVGs. All babies had an Apgar score of over seven at 5 minutes; of those who had an umbilical cord pH taken (n = 15), none had a pH < 7.05. All babies were discharged home with their mothers.
