Brief Summary:

This study has two aims:

  1. to evaluate placental transfer of acetaminophen from mother to baby transplacentally given from 30 minutes to 24 hours prior to cesarean delivery (34 patients)
  2. to understand the impact of maternal acetaminophen use on fetal movement and breathing (20 patients)

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Fetal Testing Transplacental Transfer of Acetaminophen Drug: Arm 1 (20 patients) Drug: Arm 2 (34 patients) Phase 1

Outcome Measures

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Maternal and neonatal serum acetaminophen level [ Time Frame: Time Frame: 30 minutes to 24 hours post administration ]
    Pregnant women will be given 1000 mg of acetaminophen orally and have both maternal and neonatal serum acetaminophen levels checked at the time of cesarean section 30 minutes to 24 hours after administration.

  2. Fetal breathing and body movements [ Time Frame: Time Frame: 60 minutes ]
    Pregnant women will have a baseline assessment of fetal breathing and body movements with ultrasound and will then be given 1000 mg of acetaminophen orally. Fetal breathing and body movements will then be reassessed 60 minutes later.
