Brief summary

The comparison of serum and colostral melatonin, and IL-6 levels between women with vaginal delivery, emergency cesarean section and elective cesarean section

Detailed description

In this prospective randomized study, the investigators aimed to show the changes in the melatonin levels in colostral milk in spontaneous vaginal delivery,emergency cesarean and elective cesarean section patients and changes in blood IL-6 level before and after the delivery in same patient groups. the investigators randomized 30 cases for each group for comparisons.Time range seems short in this study but participating hospital setting is a busy maternity hospital thus it will be performed easily. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the beneficial effect of spontaneous vaginal delivery on the secretion of melatonin which is solely secreted by the mother and the newborn is dependent on maternal milk oriented melatonin until 12 th week after delivery

Interventions

OTHERThe calculation of blood IL-6 and coloctral milk melatonin

Collected maternal colostral milk will be sampled for melatonin levels.Blood samples driven before and after delivery will be evaluated for IL-6 levels in each group
