Summary

We want to investigate the association between fundal pressure in the second stage and the risk of levator ani muscle (LAM) injury.

Detailed description

We will recruit women immediately following their first vaginal delivery. Women who underwent Kristeller maneuver will be recruit as cases. For each case, a control (no fundal pressure) will be recruit matched by BMI, second stage duration and birthweight. All women will be invited to undergo a postpartum 3D transperineal ultrasound (TPUS). The main outcome measure will be the presence of LAM avulsion at 3D TPUS. TPUS results will be compared between cases and controls.

Conditions

• Labor Complication
• Avulsion
