Official Title: Middle Cerebral To Umbilical Artery Doppler Ratio And Amniotic Fluid Volume Measurement In Post-date Pregnancies in King Khalid Military Central City

Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to assess the values of MCA PI / UA PI and MCA RI / UA RI ratios and amniotic fluid volume in predicting the adverse perinatal fetal outcome in uncomplicated postdate pregnancy

Detailed Summary:

The Study Will be a case-control study that will be conducted at Banha University Hospital after the approval of Institutional ethical committee. One hundred pregnant women will be recruited from antenatal clinic. Starting from November 2013. An informed consent will be obtained from the patients .

  2. Physical examination: general, abdominal and pelvic examination.
  3. Investigations: including, A- Ultrasound examintion for amniotic fluid index (AFI) measurement.
