Declarations
:
: The study was approved by Regional Committee for Medical Research Ethics Central Norway (REK-Midt #399101) and the institution’s internal review board. Women planning to give birth at Ålesund Hospital received oral and written information about the study when called for 2nd trimester ultrasound scan. They were invited to provide informed, preliminary consent for participation in the event of planned or emergency CS. Inclusion criteria were verified at admission. Women having ultrasound scans done elsewhere, and who were later referred to Ålesund Hospital, were invited to participate after admission, unless delivery was imminent. Both parents were approached for informed consent on behalf of their child (exception: single parent).
: The authors declare no competing interests.
