Brief Summary:
We want to investigate the association between fundal pressure in the second stage and the risk of levator ani muscle (LAM) injury.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Labor Complication Avulsion Procedure: Fundal Pressure

Detailed Description:
We will recruit women immediately following their first vaginal delivery. Women who underwent Kristeller maneuver will be recruit as cases. For each case, a control (no fundal pressure) will be recruit matched by BMI, second stage duration and birthweight. All women will be invited to undergo a postpartum 3D transperineal ultrasound (TPUS). The main outcome measure will be the presence of LAM avulsion at 3D TPUS. TPUS results will be compared between cases and controls.

Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
Case (Kristaller Group)
Group of kristeller maneuver applied in the second stage of labor due to clinical necessity.
 Procedure: Fundal Pressure
Fundal Pressure to assist the vaginal delivery to shorten the second stage of labor
Control (no Kristaller Group)
The control group not required to kristeller maneuver


Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. levator ani muscle (LAM) injury [ Time Frame: 24 hour ]

    The aim of the study is to investigate levator ani muscle (LAM) injury, loss of tenting, biometric measurements of LAM and genital hiatus after vaginal delivery and investigate the association between fundal pressure in the second stage of labor (Kristeller maneuver).

    All recruited women will be invited to undergo a transperineal 3D ultrasound (TPUS) scan at 24 hours after delivery. we will acquire two 3D volumes for each patient: one under maximum pelvic floor muscle contraction (PFMC) and the other under maximum Valsalva's maneuver. Ballooning" will diagnosed with a pelvic hiatal area of more than 25 cm2 during maximum Valsalva. A complete avulsion of the puborectalis muscle will diagnose if an abnormal insertion of the muscle will be detected on all three central slices. We will use a levator-urethral gap more than 2.5 cm to define an abnormal insertion.
