Ultrasound during labor and measurement of Angle of progression showed extensive prospective and retrospective publications since 2010. The investigators performed between 2013 and 2016 the only one multicenter, randomized controlled Trial comparing digital exam to angle of progression after a prolonged 2-hour second stage of labor with uncertain fetal head. The investigators consider a cut off of 120° to accepted vaginal birth among cephalic occiput anterior position This randomised PILOT study showed that measurement of Angle of progression in addition to digital exam reduced caesarean delivery from 41% to12% ( n= 33, p=0,06). doi: 10.1016/j.ajog.2022.04.018. The objective of this new study is therefore to validate the results of this PILOT study in a more powerful multicenter randomized trial (DELIVERY).

RECRUITINGcesarean delivery rate
Demonstrate that the angle of progression measurement would change by 20% the cesarean rate after a prolonged second stage of labor (2 hours).
Time frame: baseline
Number of complicated deliveries in each group
A complicated deliveries is defined by the occurrence of at least one of the following events : * Failed instrumental extraction * Sequential use of a second instrument, * Difficult instrumental extraction defined as : * vacuum detachment * requires the use of a second instrument, * extraction time \> 10 minutes, * operator's impression of the difficulty of extraction, * Shoulder dystocia by obstetric maneuver
Time frame: baseline
Severe maternal morbidity, in each group
Severe maternal morbidity is defined by the occurrence of at least one of the following events: * postpartum hemorrhage requiring hysterectomy, embolization, conservative surgical treatment or blood transfusion, * third or fourth degree perineal tears * vaginal thrombus, * cervical tear, * surgical wounds * sepsis, amniotic embolism, cardiac complication or renal failure.
Time frame: 1 month
