Ultrasound feedback for first-time moms with pelvic floor tightness at term
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
