Abstract
The timing of cesarean delivery is very important since it will predict the condition of the outcome after delivery. The recommendation is to do the cesarean section at 39 weeks due to the increased rate of respiratory complications if the cesarean is done before that time. Data of the neonatal outcome were gathered and their relationships to the timing of cesarean section were analyzed using ANOVA and Chi Square Test. There were no neonatal outcomes that were admitted and diagnosed to have respiratory distress syndrome and most of the neonatal intensive care unit admissions are those who were born at 39 to 39 6/7 weeks of gestation. And it can be recommended that cesarean section could be done at 38 weeks age of gestation.
