April 29, 2017 updated by: Dr. Vered Eisenberg, Sheba Medical Center

Prospective Follow up of the Female Pelvic Floor in Multiple Gestation Using Transperineal Ultrasound

This trial studies the effect of pregnancies of multiple gestations (i.e. twins, triplets etc.) on the female pelvic floor with regards to the pregnancy itself and labor and delivery mode, by using transperineal ultrasound. This will be compared with pregnancies with single fetuses.
