Crowning time may predict pelvic floor damage in First-Time moms
NCT ID NCT07210788
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is for first-time mothers having a vaginal birth. It aims to see if the length of time the baby's head is crowning (visible at the vaginal opening) is linked to a tear in a key pelvic muscle. Researchers will use ultrasound after birth to check for muscle injury and ask about symptoms like incontinence. The goal is to learn more about preventing long-term pelvic floor problems.
