First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study explores whether the length of time the baby's head is crowning during labor affects the risk of a pelvic muscle tear (levator ani avulsion) in first-time mothers. Researchers will use 4D ultrasound after birth to check for muscle damage and ask about symptoms like incontinence. The goal is to identify if longer crowning times are linked to more injuries, helping guide future delivery care.
