Birth Rate in Conservative Monitoring of Pregnancy Beyond the Date of Birth.

• Conditions: Pregnancy, Prolonged
• Interventions: Other: Cervical length in pregnant women.

• Registration Number: NCT02680093
• Lead Sponsor: Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center

Brief Summary

Pregnant Women beyond the date of birth. will be followed while coming to routine monitoring. physiological parameter of cervical length will be measured as the differential predictor to determine their due date. the cervical length will be measured as part of routine gynecologic examination to women who come for routine over due date follow up.

additional medical data will be collected from the patient medical record.- demographic data, and all the routine prenatal medical care the women will receive up to the delivery.and delivery outcomes.

Detailed Description

The clinical part of the study: the first visit of pregnancy monitoring is carried out at 40 full weeks. First visit to make sure the gestational age to receive full medical anamnesis , perform physical examination and vaginal and NST and BPP. Also, assess the clinical weight and when the need arises assessment of weight sonography. monitoring fetal movements . The women are ordered to return for routine check ups every 3 days. from - 41 full weeks the women should come every two days and 42 weeks should be referred for induction. In practice, the women offered induction at 41 weeks + 3 or 4 days.
