ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying how the thickness of the placenta and the uterine muscle where the placenta attaches can help predict the risk of postpartum hemorrhage, which is heavy bleeding after childbirth. The goal is to find out if measuring these two things can help identify women who may be at a higher risk for this condition, allowing for better planning and care during and after delivery.
To participate in this trial, women must be expecting a single, healthy baby at term (37 weeks of pregnancy or more). However, those with certain health issues, like severe bleeding disorders, previous cases of postpartum hemorrhage, or specific problems with the placenta or uterus, cannot join the study. If eligible, participants will have their placental and uterine measurements taken, and their information will be used to see if these measurements can effectively predict the risk of postpartum bleeding. This research could help improve care for pregnant women and enhance safety during childbirth.
