Summary
The hypothesis tested is that the physical changes associated with cervical ripening result
in a detectable decrease in rigidity. The main objective of this study is therefore to
determine whether the measured elastographic rigidity of cervical tissues in addition to
cervix size can be used to predict delivery within the next 48 hours (creation of a
prognostic score).
