Components of fetal biometry in the third trimester are associated with intrapartum caesarean section for failure to progress. These parameters could be incorporated into models to predict emergency caesarean section which could lead to implementation of preventative strategies. *[Corrections added on 29 January 2018, after first online publication, '(OR for the 4th quartile (>7th centile)' has been changed to '(OR for the 4th quartile (>75th centile)'.].
