Brief Summary  
80 healthy mothers with term, uncomplicated, singleton pregnancy scheduled to undergo elective caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia will be given either prophylactic intravenous variable rate infusion of phenylephrine titrated according to systolic blood pressure or prophylactic bolus of phenylephrine immediately after spinal anaesthesia and then whenever systolic blood pressure falls to below 90% of baseline. Umbilical arterial and venous blood samples of the fetus will be obtained from a segment of umbilical cord for blood gas analysis. Primary outcome measure will be number of physician interventions.
