Childbearing and delivery are such physiological entities which are always ready to convert into pathological entities, if left uncared. Pregnancy during labour is the most crucial stage and needs a critical care during labour. The incidence of caesarean section and rate of uterine inertia is increasing inspite of no cephalopelvic disproportion. The use of oxytocics and other drugs used during labour causes distress and other harmful effect to foetus.
