Inclusion Criteria

  • ≥18 years
  • Primiparous women
  • Spontaneous onset of labor
  • Active phase of labor
  • ≥37 weeks of gestation
  • Vertex position
  • Crossing the alert line, i.e. cervical dilatation of less than one cm per hour in the active phase of first stage of labour (cervix dilation ≥3 - <10 cm)

  • Known maternal myasthenia gravis
  • Persisting fetal tachycardia (fetal heart rate baseline >170 beats per minute)
  • Hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients in IMP or placebo (butylscopolamine bromide or sodium chloride)
  • Women with heart disease who are under surveillance with heart rate monitoring during labor
  • Known fetal heart disease
  • Untreated glaucoma

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Duration of labor from the time when the participant was given IMP to delivery

Time Frame: Up to 24 hours

Time to event variable

Secondary Outcomes

  • Duration from when the participant was given IMP, to 10 cm dilatation(Up to 24 hours)
  • Mean cervical dilatation rate, calculated as mean cervical dilatation from IMP is given to 10 cm(Up to 24 hours)
  • Duration of labor from the onset of active labor (at least 3 cm dilatation) to delivery(Up to 24 hours)
  • Spontaneous vaginal delivery vs operative delivery (vacuum, forceps or cesarean delivery)(At birth)
  • Vaginal delivery vs cesarean delivery(At birth)
  • Spontaneous vaginal delivery, vacuum delivery, forceps delivery, or emergency cesarean delivery(At birth)
  • Amount of oxytocin given, measured 1. As total time with treatment(Up to 24 hours)
  • Amount of oxytocin given, measured 2. As International Units (IU)(At birth)
  • Pain scores using a Visual Analogue Scale at baseline and 30 minutes after administration of IMP(up to 30 minutes)
  • Postpartum hemorrhage (mL)(2 hours after birth)
  • Urinary retention, defined as need for urinary catheter before the participants leave the delivery ward(24 hours after birth)
  • Anal sphincter injury(At birth)
  • Apgar score at 5 minutes and 10 minutes after delivery(5 and 10 minutes after birth)
  • pH levels in umbilical vein and artery after delivery(At birth)
  • Admission to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit(Within 2 hours after birth)
  • Birth experience measured by the validated questionnaire Child Birth Experience Questionnaire(4 weeks after birth)
