简要总结
Sweeping the membranes in term pregnancy may shorten the cervix and reduce the time to delivery.
详细描述
Cervical length will be measured in both groups. The membranes will be swept in pregnancies beyond 38 weeks by digital examination in the study group. The control group will only be examined for Bishop score. Two days later cervical length will be Measured once more.

研究组 & 干预措施
The membranes swept group
This group will have a sweeping of the membranes after the 38th of gestation at hospital, in order to reduce the latency period until labor. Sweeping of the membranes is done by the insertion of examiners finger between the decidua and fetal membranes and by the circular movement of the finger, the membranes are detached from the decidua.
干预措施: sweeping the membranes (Procedure)
No sweeping group
This group will not have sweeping of the membranes, will only have vaginal ultrasound
干预措施: No sweeping group (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Cervical Shortening
时间窗: 2days
Cervix 1 was measured at the sagittal plane of cervix from external to the internal os. Two days later cervix 2 was measured the same way. The cervical shortening was calculated from subtracting cervix 1 from cervix 2.
次要结局
- The Duration of Latency Until Labor(15 days)
