Induction of Labor Affected Fetus / Newborn
Conditions
Brief summary
The study is conducted to assess several sonographic parameters for prediction of labor induction success. These parameters include cervical length, fetal head circumference, and fetal head to cervix angle.
Detailed description
Pregnant women at term over 37 weeks' gestation visiting the obstetric emergency room for various obstetric indications will be assessed. Women with obstetric or medical indication for induction will receive an explanation regarding the study protocol and will sign an informed consent. After recruitment and during the evaluation in the obstetric emergency room, patients will undergo transvaginal sonography during which, cervical length, fetal head circumference and fetal head to cervix angle will be measured. Relevant demographic and obstetric information will be collected from a computerized database.
