Labor Progress Clinical Trial
Official title:
Revising the Norms of Labor Progress in Egyptian Nulliparous Women in Relation to Maternal Body Mass Index Categories
Study the rate of progress of labor among nulliparous women belonging to different body mass index groups, & observe how does this variation in maternal body mass index may affect the course of labor.
For nulliparous cases presenting to the labor ward, maternal height & weight will be
collected at the time of admission to calculate the BMI (body mass index) & further
classified according to WHO (World Health Organization) categories. Putting into
consideration the physiological increase in BMI related to pregnancy, the overweight
participants whose BMI (25-29.9) will be combined with the normal range BMI (18.5-24.9)
category. Labor characteristics of these participants will be then compared with those of the
underweight (BMI less than 18.5) & obese (BMI 30 or higher) participants.Females are assigned
in one of 3 groups based on their BMI; Underweight group (BMI <18.5kg/m2), Control group
whose BMI within normal range (18.5-29.9 kg/m2),& Obese group (BMI more than or equal
30kg/m2).
Labor management protocols are fixed. Data on labor progression are collected, including
cervical dilatation, cervical effacement, head station & descent. The median duration of
labor , estimated by rate of cervical dilatation in cm, will be used as a measurement of
labor progression in each group.
A cesarean section for abnormal labor pattern will be documented as failure of progress.
