Official Title: The Efficiency in Nuchal Cord Detection in Sonographic Evaluation as Performed by an Unexperienced First Year Resident With Minimal Training.

Brief Summary: The investigators aim to prove that minimal sonographic training for nuchal cord detection in an unexperienced first year medical resident is more than enough to detect the phenomenon. Patients undergoing elective cesarean section will undergo a routine ultrasound (that is performed to detect the fetal heart rate and the fetal presentation) during which the resident will attempt to detect nuchal cord. The resident will then attend the patient`s surgery to verify the findings.
