Can your body shape predict your birth experience?
NCT ID NCT07173452
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 153 first-time mothers in Turkey to see if their body measurements (like height, weight, and hip width) relate to pelvic size and how labor goes. Researchers measured the pelvis through exams and ultrasound, then tracked pain, labor length, and whether delivery was vaginal or cesarean. The goal is to find simple ways to predict birth outcomes.
