Staying warm during C-section: a study on comfort and baby health
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether keeping mothers warm during a planned cesarean section improves their comfort, stress levels, and the baby's health right after birth. It will compare mothers who receive extra warming to those who get standard care.
