Primary Outcome Measures:

The statues of respiratory of neonates [ Time Frame: at 2 minutes after delivery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Diagnosing of immaturity is based on the following criteria: 1-Physical examinations such as: nasal flaring, retraction, grunting, and tachypnea. 2-Oxygen needing more than 24 hours with three chest x-ray findings.

Enrollment:	128
Study Start Date:	March 2010
Study Completion Date:	February 2011
Primary Completion Date:	February 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Amniotic fluid Lamellar Body Counting	Other: Amniotic fluid Lamellar Body Counting fluid samples were obtained by amniocentesis during normal delivery or before rupturing the membrane in cesarean. The samples were sent to the lab as soon as possible and after centrifuging with 500 round per minute for 3 minutes, they were placed in the cell counter machine (STKR coulter).

Detailed Description:

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is one of important cause of mortality in neonates. This study was designed to evaluate the amniotic fluid lamellar body counting for predicting fetal lung maturity.
