Pulmonary aspiration of gastric content is one of the most feared perioperative complication of general anesthesia. Pregnant women are usually considered as high risk of pulmonary aspiration but there is no epidemiological study evaluating gastric content in pregnant women during the entire gestation periode. The main objective is evaluating prevalency of "full stomach" in differents stages of pregnancy in fasted pregnant women.
