Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Evolution over 48 hours of the fetal lung elasticity coefficient measure in kilopascals (kPa) (compared to the fetal liver)

The dates of elastography exams controls patients will be distributed a week of amenorrhea (WA) between 24 and 34 WA.

Time frame: For pretern larbor group: day of hospitalization for preterm labor, then 2 days later. For control group, both measurements at 2-day intervals
