ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new way to measure the curve of the spine, known as lordosis, in pregnant women and how this might relate to the outcomes of their deliveries. The researchers want to see if using a special imaging technique can help them understand the relationship between the spine's shape during pregnancy and how it affects childbirth. By collecting data from pregnant women, they hope to find patterns that can improve care for mothers and babies.

To participate in this study, women must be between 20 and 40 years old and have a low-risk pregnancy. Unfortunately, those under 20, over 40, or with certain health issues won't be eligible. If you join the study, you can expect to undergo non-invasive imaging to measure your spine's curvature, and your delivery outcome will be monitored as part of the research. This could lead to better insights into pregnancy and delivery, helping future mothers have healthier experiences.
