If you join this study, we will perform some tests before your cesarean, during your cesarean, and after you give birth. We will wrap a small sticker around your finger which will measure your blood volume. You will wear this sticker the whole time you are having surgery. You will wear it for 1-3 hours after you have surgery. We will also use an ultrasound machine to take pictures of your heart. We will do this once before you give birth (possibly during your delivery) and once after you give birth.

Who can Participate

You may be able to join this study if you are pregnant and will be undergoing a cesarean delivery. You cannot join this study if you have been diagnosed with pre-eclampsia.
