The average length of the first stage of labour was 5 hours whereas the text book average is 16 - 24 hours; the second stage of labour lasted an average of 16 minutes compared to the text book expectancy of 1 - 2 hours, and only 5.4% of the women who had reflexology treatment required emergency caesarian section compared to an average of 13% in Newham district which was the district where the study was conducted.(2) <!--End Snippet--> </font> </p> </font> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <style type="text/css"></style></div> elainej
