Placental Cord Drainage Versus no Placental Drainage in the Management of Third Stage of Labour

In the study group a of total number of 90 women 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. Blood loss in the third stage will be measured using a Kelly's pad which will be used during delivery and the blood lost will be collected in a clean metal bowl which will be kept at the tail end of Kelley's pad.

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