Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 60 pregnant mothers undergoing elective C-section preferably balanced between general and spinal anaesthesia.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Emergency C- section

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the association between anaesthesia-related parameters and DNA methylation patterns in selected neonatal genes related to stress response, neurodevelopment, and immune function.Timepoint: Baseline at the time of birth

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- To describe the methylation status of specific genes (e.g., NR3C1, BDNF, OXTR, IL6, DNMT3A) in neonates born via elective C-section under anaesthesia.Timepoint: Baseline At time of delivery;- To explore correlations between neonatal methylation levels & clinical factors such as birth weight, APGAR scores & maternal hemodynamic parameters during anaesthesia.Timepoint: Baseline At the time of delivery.
