We aim to determine whether there are any differences in the UtA doppler measurements in postpartum women prior and right after breastfeeding.
There is emerging evidence linking abnormal UtA Doppler indices in the postpartum period as a risk factor for developing future cardiovascular disorders. Thus far, no study considered the postpartum physiology itself as a possible confounder. If one wishes to draw conclusions about future cardiovascular risk, the role of oxytocin as a confounder must be determined. In the current study, we aim to determine whether oxytocin, physiologically produced during breastfeeding, has an effect on the UtA Doppler measurements in the postpartum period.
