Intervention

Procedure:
• placental cord drainage
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.
• non placemtal cord drainage
In 90 women after vaginal delivery of the baby placental end of the cut umbilical cord will be kept clamped.
