Summary

This study looked at 153 first-time mothers to see if their body measurements (like height, weight, and BMI) are linked to pelvic size and how labor goes. Researchers measured the women's bodies and pelvises and tracked pain levels, how long labor lasted, and whether they had a vaginal or cesarean birth. The goal was to better understand these connections to help midwives and doctors support women during childbirth.
