Summary
This study will evaluate if the timing of oxytocin administration in cesarean deliveries will
affect the amount of maternal blood loss. Half of participants will receive oxytocin after
delivery of the fetal anterior shoulder and the other half will receive oxytocin after
delivery of the placenta. We hypothesize that administering oxytocin after delivery of the
shoulder, will result in less overall maternal blood loss.
