The purpose of this study is to compare lactate and total acid-base status in fetal scalp blood with lactate and total acid-base status in maternal blood and amniotic fluids to provide information on how lactate and base deficit correlates with scalp samples. Furthermore, the investigators want to study whether angiogenic factors in fluids above may be a possible marker of asphyxia during labor.

Fetal blood sampling is conducted when a non reassuring cardiotocographic pattern occurs to detect fetal hypoxia during labor. Amniotic fluid, maternal blood is sampled in cases of fetal blood sampling. Umbilical cord blood sampling is conducted at delivery.
