Summary

This trial is testing whether oxytocin can help during the second stage of labor.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for first-time pregnant women who are at least 37 weeks along, either going into labor on their own or being induced. It's not for those already fully dilated without oxytocin, have had children before, are expecting multiples, or whose babies have significant health issues.
What is being tested?
The study randomly assigns participants to either continue using oxytocin during the second stage of labor or stop it altogether. The goal is to see how stopping or continuing oxytocin affects labor complications.
What are the potential side effects?
Oxytocin may cause side effects like intense contractions leading to fetal distress, uterine rupture in rare cases, and postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony.
