Figure 1. Intrapartum translabial ultrasound. The pubic symphysis’s long axis is perpendicular to the infrapubic line. True head station (‘IPU station’) is measured using the parallel plane via the ischial spines, which is 3 cm below the infrapubic line. The anterior and posterior parts of the dilating cervix are indicated by black stars. The distance between them represents the anteroposterior cervical dilatation (‘IPU cervical dilatation’).
