First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will use ultrasound to measure how a baby moves through the birth canal when the mother is lying on her back versus kneeling-squatting. Researchers aim to see if certain positions create more room for the baby. The study involves 105 pregnant women at full term with a single baby in head-down position.
