Brief Summary
In women undergoing elective CS, half of them will have Intra-caesarian copper T 380 IUD insertion using the standard method and the remaining half will undergo copper T 380 IUD insertion during CS using a new technique in order to detect which technique is more effective in having more accurate IUD position with visible threads.

EXPERIMENTALInterventions
During CS , placement of CuT380 IUD at the top of the uterine fundus with ring forceps or manually; before closing the uterine incision, the strings were placed in the lower uterine segment. If the cervix was closed, dilatation from above with ring forceps or manually. Strings passed through the cervix with ring forceps, then checking that IUD remains at the fundus of the uterus prior to closing the uterine incision. The surgeon took a good care not to include IUD strings within the sutures. Six weeks postpartum; Patients will be questioned for any symptoms of complications or side effects. Pelvic examination (per speculum) and transvaginal ultrasound will be performed. Patient satisfaction will be assessed: pain using (VAS score), missed threads.
During CS, the plunger will be removed, the introducer remains in place and the arms of the IUD were released to be in a transverse position. The introducer will be inserted in the cervical canal through the uterine incision, threads might be shortened if needed or if couldn't be advanced into the cervical canal, The introducer containing the IUD will be then pushed upwards , towards the uterine fundus.The IUD will be placed at the uterine fundus and the IUD will be stabilized at its fundal position by grasping the fundus between the thumb anteriorly and the other fingers posteriorly. The uterine incision was closed while the introducer is in situ , then the introducer will be removed vaginally at the end of CS. Six weeks postpartum; Patients will be followed as in the classic technique group.
Under general or spinal anathesia , the abdomen is opened in layers , the bladder is dissected downwards . The uterus is incised at its lower segment \& the fetus is extracted , followed by the placenta \& membranes . The CU T 380 IUD is inserted either by the classic technique or the standard technique . The uterus is closed in 2 layers by continous non - locked sutures .Proper hemostasis \& closure of the abdomen in layers .
