This trial tests if using a special ultrasound to show pelvic floor muscle movement during exercises helps new mothers strengthen their pelvic floor better than standard therapy alone. It is for women who gave birth vaginally within the past 4 months.
This trial tests whether showing mothers a real-time ultrasound image of their pelvic floor while they push can help them push more effectively and feel more satisfied with their birth experience. It is for first-time mothers who have an epidural and are carrying a single full-term baby head-down.
This study looks at whether making sounds (vocalizing) and pushing naturally during the pushing stage of labor—without medication—can help first-time mothers. You'll be asked to try either vocal pushing or silent pushing, and the researchers will see how it affects your labor.
This study tests whether using ultrasound to show you how your pelvic floor muscles move during labor can help first-time moms who have a specific muscle tightness called levator ani co-activation. It may improve birth outcomes for you and your baby.
This trial studies whether a mother's awareness of how long she has been pushing (the second stage of labor) can affect how long that stage lasts. It may help you feel more in control during labor.
This study tests a new training protocol to help obstetric caregivers get better at using ultrasound during labor. If you’re a caregiver who agrees to participate, the goal is to improve skills and potentially the care patients receive.
