Ultrasound during labor to predict birth outcomes
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound scans during labor to see if they can predict how your delivery will go. It may help doctors make better decisions and improve outcomes for you and your baby.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are pregnant with one baby (not twins) and are between 37 and 42 weeks of pregnancy
- Your baby is head-down (cephalic) and you are in the pushing stage (fully dilated and feeling the urge to push)
- You do not have placenta previa, uterine malformations, or previous uterine surgery
- Your baby's heart tracing is normal, and there is no reason you cannot deliver vaginally

This study tests whether ultrasound during labor can help doctors track how well your baby is moving down and progressing toward delivery. The goal is to improve decision-making during childbirth for women having vaginal delivery.
This study uses ultrasound to see if doctors can predict how easy or hard it will be to place an epidural for labor pain relief. It may help identify women who might need extra care during the procedure.
This study looks at a special ultrasound of the uterus to see if it can help predict stillbirth. If you have experienced the loss of a single baby at 24 weeks or later, this research may help doctors better understand and prevent future stillbirths.
This study uses information from a monitor that tracks your baby's heart rate during labor to see if we can better predict their well-being at birth. The goal is to improve care and ensure both you and your baby are safe.
This trial studies whether a specific ultrasound approach can better detect problems with fetal (baby) growth in the later part of pregnancy. It may help identify concerns earlier so your care team can plan the next steps.
This study uses ultrasound during labor to see if it can reduce the number of internal exams (like cervical checks) you need. It aims to make labor more comfortable and less invasive for mothers with a head-down baby in spontaneous or induced labor.
