A study recently completed shows that complications arising form birth happen more frequently at night
Picking the time of day to give birth may not be a choice many women can make but it could influence her chances of a smooth delivery, according to a Dutch research.
A study of more than 700,000 births at Dutch hospitals between 2000 and 2006 found that the risks of newborn death and admission to the neonatal intensive care unit were higher with nighttime than daytime deliveries.
The study found that the rates of injury where generally higher overnight. The story does go on to say that in developed countries the risk of birth injury is still very low indeed. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100614/lf_nm_life/us_births_complications
