Summary

1. Assess differences in flow patterns in the fetal cerebral blood vessels within 24 hours before delivery between fetuses with a normal vs. adverse perinatal outcome. 2. Explore maternal and/or fetal characteristics that might influence technical feasibility of doppler sonography of the fetal cerebral blood vessels in early labor at term. 3. Assess reliability of the technique by measuring intra- and inter-observer variation in a subset of participants.
