Brief summary

In this prospective observational study we aimed to determine the predictive power of anterior uterocervical angle on labor induction. secondary outcome of the study is to determine a cut off value for the anterior uterocervical angle that will guide the obstetrician to start labor induction .

Interventions

Anterior uterocervical angle (the angle between the anterior border of uterus and cervical canal) will be visualized by transvaginal ultrasound and the printout of the screen will be used to measure the anterior uterocervical angle by a protractor. the larger the anterior uterocervical angle is, the easier the parturient can give vaginal birth. 5 minute observation immediately prior to induction of labour, ultrasound performed upon admission to ward until induction of labour.
