ABSTRACT
Analysis of 509 single, normal, uncomplicated live births at the University Hospital in Jamaica demonstrated a bimodal distribution for gestational ages, peaking at 38 and 40 weeks. The distribution was found to be negatively skewed. The mean gestational age was 39.39 weeks ñ S.D. 1.42 weeks. The median was 39.59 weeks. Maternal age and parity had a negligible influence on gestational age; infant's sex had no effect (AU)
