Can your pelvic muscles predict your delivery?
NCT ID NCT07478159
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 376 pregnant women from late pregnancy to 12 weeks after birth. Researchers measure hip, pelvic, and abdominal muscle function to see if these factors are linked to how a baby is delivered (vaginal or cesarean) and whether women develop pelvic floor problems like incontinence. The goal is to better understand which women might need extra support during and after childbirth.
