Abstract. A series of 99 paired vaginal examinations before or during labor were analysed. For each single comparison two observers recorded his or her findings independently. In about 90% there was either complete agreement or a difference of 1 cm, both for the dilatation of the cervix and the station of the presenting fetal part along the pelvic axis.
