Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
uterocervical angle	uterocervical angle (UCA)	uterocervical angle is the angle between lower segment of uterus and cervix
uterocervical angle	latent phase duration	uterocervical angle is the angle between lower segment of uterus and cervix

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
prediction of latent phase duration by uterocervical angle in post term pregnancies	5 months	In patients diagnosed with late term pregnancy, the uterocervical angle and cervical length were measured by transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) at the time of admission to the delivery room before labor induction.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
the relative success of UCA in active phase and duration of labor prediction in post term pregnancies	5 months	5 months
