About this study
Cervical length will be measured in both groups. The membranes will be swept in pregnancies beyond 38 weeks by digital examination in the study group. The control group will only be examined for Bishop score. Two days later cervical length will be Measured once more.
Who can participate
Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes
Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.
Inclusion criteria
- The patients who completed the 38th week of pregnancy, otherwise healthy gravida who have no contraindication to vaginal delivery.
Exclusion criteria
- Women who have chronic disease complicating pregnancy, multiple pregnancies and in whom vaginal delivery is contraindicated.
Treatment and study plan
sweeping the membranes
ProcedureThe cervical length will be measured and the patient will be examined to determine the Bishop score. Later the the membranes will be swept.
Other names: stripping the membranes, digital examination
No sweeping group
OtherCervical length will be measured by transvaginal USG and the patient will be examined to determine the Bishop score.
Other names: bishop score, digital examination
Primary outcomes
-
Cervical Shortening
Time frame: 2days
Cervix 1 was measured at the sagittal plane of cervix from external to the internal os. Two days later cervix 2 was measured the same way. The cervical shortening was calculated from subtracting cervix 1 from cervix 2.
Secondary outcomes
-
The Duration of Latency Until Labor
Time frame: 15 days
The period (in days) from the last cervical measurement to the start of second phase of labor.
