Summary
This study looks at whether giving oxytocin (a hormone that causes contractions) during the pushing stage of labor can shorten delivery time and lower the need for C-sections or vacuum/forceps. About 400 first-time mothers with a single baby at full term will take part. The goal is to see if this approach makes labor safer and faster.
