Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Effect on force of contractility24 hours

Determine the effect of adiponectin and TNFa on the force of myometrial contractility in diabetic, non-obese pregnant women and obese, non-diabetic term pregnant women at the time of scheduled cesarean delivery

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progesterone effect in control group24 hours

Investigate the anti-inflammatory properties of Progesterone (P4) and 17a-Hydroxyprogesterone (HPC) on Adiponectin induced myometrial contractility in control group

Force of contractility between study groups24 hours

Compare the force of myometrial contractility in study groups compared to control group (non-DM, non-obese term pregnant patients)
