Abstract
Measurement of the cervix via transvaginal ultrasound is now recognized as reproducible and accurate. The length of the cervix as determined by transvaginal ultrasound has an inverse relationship to the risk of preterm delivery. Studies utilizing transfundal pressure to elicit changes in the cervix have been reported [1,2]. This poster will illustrate the use of ‘post-exercise’ transvaginal scanning in an attempt to identify those patients at risk for preterm delivery both pre- and post-cerclage placement.
