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
