  • Title: The effects of oxytocin on fetal scalp temperature.
    Author: Beck LR, Flowers CE, Blair WD.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1979 Feb; 53(2):200-2. PubMed ID: 418975.
    Abstract:
    During a study of fetal temperature, it was found that there was a significantly higher temperature among infants whose mothers received oxytocin than among a comparable control group. These data indicate that normal-appearing oxytocin-induced contractions may reduce uterine blood flow and thereby raise the intrauterine fetal temperature.
