Brief Summary: Spontaneous vaginal delivery of a healthy infant provokes a unique surge in stress hormone concentrations eg AVP arginine vasopressin copeptin incommensurable with child or adult levels measured in any other situation In contrast infants delivered by primary caesarean section without preceding labour have low stress hormone concentrations at birth unless other stressors are present including chorioamnionitis or intrauterine growth restriction Infants delivered by caesarean section after a trial of labour show copeptin concentrations between these two extremes

Objectives1 To reduce neonatal respiratory morbidity and admission to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and increase bonding and breastfeeding by triggering uterine contractions prior to planned caesarean delivery

2 To collect prospectively weight data of infants in the first 6 months of life to validate and expand our online neonatal weight calculator

Study design Open label randomised placebo controlled trail Intervention Oxytocin challenge test OCT Infusion of oxytocin 5 IU500 ml Ringer lactate at a rate of 12 mlh and doubled every 10 min until three uterine contractions per 10-min interval are induced at which point it will be stopped

Primary endpoint

- Incidence of neonatal respiratory morbidity

Secondary endpoints

Umbilical cord blood copeptin levels
