Abstract
The use of oxytocics immediately after the delivery of the baby is one of the most important intervention, to prevent postpartum blood loss, as uterine atony is the most important and common cause of postpartum haemorrhage. This study aims to evaluate whether intra-umbilical oxytocin in the AMTSL can reduce the duration and amount of bleeding as compared to intravenous methergine. The mean estimated blood loss in women treated with intraumbilical oxytocin was 213.50 whereas in intravenous methergine was 215ml; P
