What an interesting exercise!
Along with the other suggestions made, I feel some consideration of the pregnancy/antenatal period is required too. Perhaps defined as 'low-risk' at the start of labour, although I accept that that in itself is fraught with definition problems and controversy. My thoughts are issues such as serious antepartum haemorrhage, increased blood pressure, certain infections etc may impact on the physiology of birth...
Warm regards
James
