180 participants in 2 patient groups

placental cord drainage

Experimental group

Description:

In 90 women after vaginal delivery of the baby, the placental end of the cut umbilical cord 1st will be clamped for few seconds and then unclamped and left open to drain blood in a vessel until flow stoped. This will prevent the drained blood from getting mixed with blood lost in the 3rd stage.

Treatment:

Procedure: placental cord drainage

Non placental cord drainage

Active Comparator group

Description:

In 90 women after vaginal delivery of the baby placental end of the cut umbilical cord will be kept clamped.

Treatment:

Procedure: non placemtal cord drainage
