Aquagenic Wrinkling Prediction
Recruiting
The goal of this observational study is to determine whether an aquagenic wrinkling procedure (i.e., soaking hands in a water bath for up to 20 minutes) can be used as a screening tool for cystic fibrosis carrier status. Participants will complete one visit where they will undergo an aquagenic wrinkling procedure to see how their hands respond.

Oxytocin and Fetal Heart Rate Changes
Recruiting
The reported risk of nonreassuring fetal heart trace following neuraxial analgesia is 3-23%. This variability may be due to fluid and oxytocin management prior to and during the initiation of neuraxial analgesia. The study hypothesis is that decreasing the oxytocin infusion rate by 50 % prior to initiation of combined spinal epidural analgesia will cause a reduction in the incidence of adverse fetal heart rate changes.
