This is a prospective trial of vaginal preparation (or vaginal cleansing/washing) on late preterm and term pregnancies admitted to Labor & Delivery unit for cesarean delivery with three arms. Randomization allocation would be performed in 1:1:1 fashion for vaginal preparation with chlorhexidine‐alcohol, povidine‐iodine, and saline washes. A saline wash group is included to determine if the act of cleansing the vagina with a sponge alone reduces bacterial colony counts.
