| Abstract: | Dill is
herbaceous and aromatic herb used in order to convenient and shorter labor in
Iran. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Dill
seed on uterus contractions in active phase of labor. In this
historical cohort study,
40 women used Dill seed infusion in the case group and 60 women used
nothing in the control group. Interpretable electronic fetal monitoring was
obtained for half an hour at the beginning of the active phase. The Fall: Rise ratio was calculated by measuring the duration of
time for a contraction to return to its baseline from its peak (fall) divided
to the duration of its rise time to its peak (rise).The number of contractions
in the case group was significantly more than the control group. The ratio of
contraction’s fall time to its rise time in the case group was shorter than the
control group. The study showed that Dill
seed shortens duration of the first stage of labor. Since there is not enough
information about correct amount and time for consuming this herb, more
complete studies are needed. |
