Abstract
Cesarean delivery rates have been steadily rising since the beginning of the 21st century. The growing incidence is even more prominent in developing countries owing to lack of evidence-based guidance and audit, and the expansion of private practice. The uprise in Cesarean delivery rate has been associated with considerable financial burden and has increased the risk otherwise uncommon serious complications such as placenta accreta disorders and uterine rupture. In addition to primary prevention of Cesarean delivery, trial of labor after cesarean section is one of the most successful strategies to reduce Cesarean deliveries and minimize risks associated with higher order Cesarean deliveries. This guideline appraises patient selection strategies and use of prediction model to promote counseling and enhance safety in women considering vaginal birth after Cesarean.

Abstract
Importance Obesity is one of the most common clinical entities complicating pregnancies and is associated with short- and long-term consequences for both the mother and the offspring. Objective The aim of this study were to review and compare the most recently published influential guidelines on the management of maternal obesity in the preconceptional, antenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum period. Evidence Acquisition A descriptive review of guidelines from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics, the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists on obesity in pregnancy was carried out. Results There is an overall agreement among the reviewed guidelines regarding the importance of prepregnancy weight loss with behavioral modification, optimization of gestational weight gain, and screening for comorbidities in improving pregnancy outcomes of obese women. Women with previous bariatric surgery should be screened for nutritional deficiencies and have a closer antenatal surveillance, according to all guidelines. In addition, folic acid supplementation is recommended for 1 to 3 months before conception and during the first trimester, but several discrepancies were identified with regard to other vitamins, iodine, calcium, and iron supplementation. All medical societies recommend early screening for gestational diabetes mellitus and early anesthetic assessment in obese women and suggest the use of aspirin for the prevention of preeclampsia when additional risk factors are present, although the optimal dosage is controversial. The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists point out that specific equipment and adequate resources must be readily available in all health care facilities managing obese pregnant women. Moreover, thromboprophylaxis and prophylactic antibiotics are indicated in case of cesarean delivery, and intrapartum fetal monitoring is justified during active labor in obese patients. However, there are no consistent protocols regarding the fetal surveillance, the monitoring of multiple gestations, the timing and mode of delivery, and the postpartum follow-up, although weight loss and breastfeeding are unanimously supported. Conclusions Obesity in pregnancy is a significant contributor to maternal and perinatal morbidity with a constantly rising global prevalence among reproductive-aged women. Thus, the development of uniform international protocols for the effective management of obese women is of paramount importance to safely guide clinical practice and subsequently improve pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Previously developed cesarean section (CS) and emergency CS prediction tools use antenatal and intrapartum risk factors. We aimed to develop a predictive model for the risk of emergency CS before the onset of labour utilizing antenatal obstetric and non-obstetric factors. METHODS We completed a secondary analysis of data collected from the CHILD Cohort Study. The analysis was limited to term (≥37 weeks), singleton pregnant women with cephalic presentation. The sample was divided into a training and validation dataset. The emergency CS prediction model was developed in the training dataset and the performance accuracy was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic analysis (ROC). Our final model was subsequently evaluated in the validation dataset. RESULTS The participant sample consisted of 2,836 pregnant women. Mean age of participants was 32 years, mean BMI of 25.4 kg/m2 and 39% were nulliparous. 14% had emergency CS delivery. Each year of increasing maternal age increased the odds of emergency CS by 6% (adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR 1.06,1.02-1.08). Likewise, there was a 4% increase odds of emergency CS for each unit increase in BMI (aOR 1.04,1.02-1.06). In contrast, increase in maternal height has a negative association with emergency CS. The final emergency CS delivery predictive model included six variables (hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, antenatal depression, previous vaginal delivery, age, height, BMI). The AUC for our final prediction model was 0.74 (0.72-0.77) in the training set with a similar AUC in the validation dataset (0.77; 0.71-0.82). CONCLUSION The developed and validated emergency CS delivery prediction model can be used in counselling prospective parents around their CS risk and healthcare resource planning. Further validation of the tool is suggested.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prepregnancy body mass index and gestational weight gain have been linked with severe maternal morbidity, suggesting that weight change between pregnancies may also play a role, as it does for neonatal outcomes. OBJECTIVE This study assessed the association of changes in prepregnancy body mass index between 2 consecutive singleton pregnancies with the outcomes of severe maternal morbidity, stillbirth, and small- and large-for-gestational-age infants in the subsequent pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN This observational study was based on birth records from 1,111,032 consecutive pregnancies linked to hospital discharge records in California (2007-2017). Interpregnancy body mass index change between the beginning of an index pregnancy and the beginning of the subsequent pregnancy was calculated from self-reported weight and height. Severe maternal morbidity was defined based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention index, including and excluding transfusion-only cases. We used multivariable log-binomial regression models to estimate adjusted risks, overall and stratified by prepregnancy body mass index at index birth. RESULTS Substantial interpregnancy body mass index gain (≥4 kg/m2) was associated with severe maternal morbidity in crude but not adjusted analyses. Substantial interpregnancy body mass index loss (>2 kg/m2) was associated with increased risk of severe maternal morbidity (adjusted relative risk, 1.13; 95% confidence interval (1.07-1.19), and both substantial loss (adjusted relative risk, 1.11 [1.02-1.19]) and gain (≥4 kg/m2; adjusted relative risk, 1.09 [1.02-1.17]) were associated with nontransfusion severe maternal morbidity. Substantial loss (adjusted relative risk, 1.17 [1.05-1.31]) and gain (1.26 [1.14-1.40]) were associated with stillbirth. Body mass index gain was positively associated with large-for-gestational-age infants and inversely associated with small-for-gestational-age infants. CONCLUSION Substantial interpregnancy body mass index changes were associated with modestly increased risk of severe maternal morbidity, stillbirth, and small- and large-for-gestational-age infants.

Abstract
International guidelines recommend women with an overweight or obese body mass index (BMI) aim to reduce their body weight prior to conception to minimize the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. Recent systematic reviews have demonstrated that interpregnancy weight gain increases women's risk of developing adverse pregnancy outcomes in their subsequent pregnancy. Interpregnancy weight change studies exclude nulliparous women. This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted following MOOSE guidelines and summarizes the evidence of the impact of preconception and interpregnancy weight change on perinatal outcomes for women regardless of parity. Sixty one studies met the inclusion criteria for this review and reported 34 different outcomes. We identified a significantly increased risk of gestational diabetes (OR 1.88, 95% CI 1.66, 2.14, I2 = 87.8%), hypertensive disorders (OR 1.46 95% CI 1.12, 1.91, I2 = 94.9%), preeclampsia (OR 1.92 95% CI 1.55, 2.37, I2 = 93.6%), and large-for-gestational-age (OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.25, 1.49, I2 = 92.2%) with preconception and interpregnancy weight gain. Interpregnancy weight loss only was significantly associated with increased risk for small-for-gestational-age (OR 1.29 95% CI 1.11, 1.50, I2 = 89.9%) and preterm birth (OR 1.06 95% CI 1.00, 1.13, I2 = 22.4%). Our findings illustrate the need for effective preconception and interpregnancy weight management support to improve pregnancy outcomes in subsequent pregnancies.

Abstract
Obesity and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) are the most frequent pathologies affecting mothers and offspring during pregnancy. Both conditions have shown a sustained increase in their prevalence in recent years, and they worsen the outcome of pregnancy and the long-term health of mothers. Obesity increases the risk of GDM and pre-eclampsia during pregnancy and elevates the risk of developing metabolic syndrome in later life. Offspring of obese mothers have an increased risk of obstetric morbidity and mortality and, consistent with the developmental origins of health and disease, a long term risk of childhood obesity and metabolic dysfunction. On the other hand, GDM also increases the risk of pre-eclampsia, caesarean section, and up to 50% of women will develop type 2 diabetes later in life. From a fetal point of view, it increases the risk of macrosomia, large-for-gestational-age fetuses, shoulder dystocia and birth trauma. The insulin resistance and inflammatory mediators released by a hypoxic trophoblast are mainly responsible for the poor pregnancy outcome in obese or GDM patients. The adequate management of both pathologies includes modifications in the diet and physical activity. Drug therapy should be considered when medical nutrition therapy and moderate physical activity fail to achieve treatment goals. The antenatal prediction of macrosomia is a challenge for physicians. The timing and the route of delivery should consider adequate metabolic control, gestational age, and optimal conditions for a vaginal birth. The best management of these pathologies includes pre-conception planning to reduce the risks during pregnancy and improve the quality of life of these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This guideline will review key aspects in the pregnancy care of women with obesity. Part I will focus on Preconception and Pregnancy Care. Part II will focus on Team Planning for Delivery and Postpartum Care. INTENDED USERS All health care providers (obstetricians, family doctors, midwives, nurses, anaesthesiologists) who provide pregnancy-related care to women with obesity. TARGET POPULATION Women with obesity who are pregnant or planning pregnancies. EVIDENCE Literature was retrieved through searches of Statistics Canada, Medline, and The Cochrane Library on the impact of obesity in pregnancy on antepartum and intrapartum care, maternal morbidity and mortality, obstetric anaesthesia, and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Results were restricted to systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials/controlled clinical trials, and observational studies. There were no date or language restrictions. Searches were updated on a regular basis and incorporated in the guideline to September 2018. Grey (unpublished) literature was identified through searching the websites of health technology assessment and health technology assessment-related agencies, clinical practice guideline collections, clinical trial registries, and national and international medical specialty societies. VALIDATION METHODS The content and recommendations were drafted and agreed upon by the authors. Then the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Committees peer reviewed the content and submitted comments for consideration, and the Board of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) approved the final draft for publication. Areas of disagreement were discussed during meetings at which time consensus was reached. The level of evidence and quality of the recommendation made were described using the Evaluation of Evidence criteria of the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care. BENEFITS, HARMS, AND COSTS Implementation of the recommendations in these guidelines may increase obstetrical provider recognition of the issues affecting pregnant individuals with obesity, including clinical prevention strategies, communication between the health care team, the patient and family as well as equipment and human resource planning. It is hoped that regional, provincial and federal agencies will assist in the education and support of coordinated care for pregnant individuals with obesity. GUIDELINE UPDATE SOGC guideline will be automatically reviewed 5 years after publication. However, authors can propose another review date if they feel that 5 years is too short/long based on their expert knowledge of the subject matter. SPONSORS This guideline was developed with resources funded by the SOGC. SUMMARY STATEMENTS RECOMMENDATIONS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES There is emerging evidence that First Nations women with diabetes in pregnancy and their offspring have poorer health outcomes than non-First Nations women. The aim of this study was to describe the perinatal outcomes of pregnancies complicated by type 2 diabetes. METHODS The Next Generation longitudinal study is a First Nations birth cohort of children born to mothers diagnosed in childhood with type 2 diabetes. Pregnant women were prospectively enrolled in the birth cohort, and a review of medical records (including stored fetal ultrasound images) was performed to determine perinatal outcomes for 112 child-mother pairs between 2005 and 2015. Maternal demographics, antenatal variables, fetal ultrasound findings, obstetric and delivery information and neonatal birth outcomes were collected and analyzed. RESULTS Mothers in our cohort were young and most were overweight at the start of pregnancy. Most had suboptimal glycemic control in the first trimester (median glycated hemoglobin, 9.3%). The cesarean section rate was high at 41%. Over one-half of newborns had macrosomia at birth, and almost 1 in 5 were born with a structural anomaly, mainly renal. Fetal ultrasound significantly underestimated the proportion of infants born with macrosomia (p<0.05) and missed 3 of 7 cardiac defects in this cohort. CONCLUSIONS High rates of anomalies, macrosomia and cesarean deliveries provide insight into pregnancy management and disease processes for First Nations women with pregestational type 2 diabetes and their offspring, and highlights opportunities for improvement in prenatal care of these women.

Abstract
OBJECTIF La présente directive clinique aborde les aspects essentiels des soins prénataux chez les femmes atteintes d'obésité. La partie 1 porte sur la préconception et les soins prénataux. La partie 2 porte sur la planification en équipe de l'accouchement et les soins post-partum. UTILISATEURS CONCERNéS: Tous les fournisseurs de soins de santé (obstétriciens, médecins de famille, sages-femmes, infirmières, anesthésiologistes) qui prodiguent des soins relatifs à la grossesse auprès de femmes atteintes d'obésité. POPULATION CIBLE Femmes atteintes d'obésité qui sont enceintes ou prévoient le devenir. DONNéES PROBANTES: Des recherches ont été menées en consultant les ressources de Statistique Canada, de Medline et de Cochrane Library en vue d'en tirer la littérature relativement aux effets de l'obésité durant la grossesse sur les soins prénataux et intrapartum, la morbidité et la mortalité maternelles, l'anesthésie obstétricale ainsi que sur la morbidité et la mortalité périnatales. Seuls les résultats de revues systématiques, d'essais cliniques randomisés ou comparatifs et d'études observationnelles ont été retenus. Aucune restriction de date ou de langue n'a été employée. Les recherches ont été mises à jour régulièrement, et les résultats ont été incorporés à la directive clinique jusqu'en septembre 2018. Nous avons également tenu compte de la littérature grise (non publiée) obtenue sur les sites Web d'organismes d'évaluation des technologies de la santé et d'autres organismes pertinents, dans des collections de directives cliniques et des registres d'essais cliniques, et auprès d'associations nationales et internationales de médecins spécialistes. MéTHODES DE VALIDATION: Le contenu et les recommandations ont été rédigés et acceptés par les auteurs. Les membres du comité de médecine fœto-maternelle ont ensuite passé en revue le contenu et formulé des commentaires aux fins d'examen. Enfin, le conseil d'administration de la Société des obstétriciens et gynécologues du Canada (SOGC) a approuvé la publication de la version définitive de la directive. Les points de désaccord ont été abordés lors de réunions pour enfin arriver à un consensus. La qualité des données et des recommandations a été déterminée à l'aide des critères d'évaluation décrits par le Groupe d'étude canadien sur les soins de santé préventifs. AVANTAGES, PRéJUDICE ET COûTS: La mise en place des recommandations des présentes directives peut améliorer la reconnaissance des fournisseurs de soins obstétricaux relativement aux problèmes qui touchent les personnes enceintes atteintes d'obésité, notamment au moyen de stratégies de prévention clinique; de la communication entre l'équipe de soins de santé, la patiente et la famille; et de la planification de l'équipement et des ressources humaines. Il est à espérer que les organismes régionaux, provinciaux et fédéraux participeront à la formation et au soutien en matière de soins coordonnés pour les personnes enceintes atteintes d'obésité. MISE à JOUR DE LA DIRECTIVE CLINIQUE: Les directives de la SOGC sont automatiquement passées en revue 5 ans après leur publication. Les auteurs peuvent toutefois proposer une autre date de réévaluation s'ils croient qu'une période de 5 ans est trop courte ou trop longue en fonction de leurs connaissances du sujet à titre d'experts en la matière. PROMOTEURS La présente directive a été élaborée à l'aide de ressources financées par la SOGC. DéCLARATIONS SOMMAIRES: RECOMMANDATIONS.

Abstract
Interpregnancy care aims to maximize a woman's level of wellness not just in between pregnancies and during subsequent pregnancies, but also along her life course. Because the interpregnancy period is a continuum for overall health and wellness, all women of reproductive age who have been pregnant regardless of the outcome of their pregnancies (ie, miscarriage, abortion, preterm, full-term delivery), should receive interpregnancy care as a continuum from postpartum care. The initial components of interpregnancy care should include the components of postpartum care, such as reproductive life planning, screening for depression, vaccination, managing diabetes or hypertension if needed, education about future health, assisting the patient to develop a postpartum care team, and making plans for long-term medical care. In women with chronic medical conditions, interpregnancy care provides an opportunity to optimize health before a subsequent pregnancy. For women who will not have any future pregnancies, the period after pregnancy also affords an opportunity for secondary prevention and improvement of future health.

Abstract
Background Rising caesarean section (CS) rates are a global health concern. Contemporary data indicates that almost 50% of CS are electively performed, with a high proportion of these being a repeat procedure. Vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) is recognised as a safe way to give birth in developed countries. UK national maternity policy and worldwide professional guidance supports shared decision-making about mode of birth with women following CS. Evidence suggests that women want individualised information, particularly about their likeilihood of successful VBAC, to enable them to participate in the decision making process. This study aimed to identify characteristics that could inform a predictive model which would allow women to receive personalised and clinically specific information about their likelihood of achieving a successful VBAC in subsequent pregnancies. Methods An observational study using anonymised clinical data extracted from a detailed, comprehensive socio-demographic and clinical dataset. All women who attempted a singleton term VBAC between 2000 and 2012 were included. Data were analysed using both logistic regression and Bayesian statistical techniques to identify clinical and demographic variables predictive of successful VBAC. Results Variables significantly associated with VBAC were: ethnicity (p = 0.011), maternal obstetric complications (p < 0.001), previous vaginal birth (p = < 0.001), antepartum haemorrhage (p = 0.005), pre-pregnancy BMI (p < 0.001) and a previous second stage CS (p < 0.001). Conclusions By using current literature, expert clinical opinion and having access to clinically detailed variables, this study has identified a new significant characteristic. Women who had a previous CS in the second stage of labour are more likely to have a successful VBAC. This predictor may have international significance for women and clinicians in shared VBAC decision-making. Further research is planned to validate this model on a larger national sample leading to further development of the nomogram tool developed in this study for use in clinical practice to assist women and clinicians in the decision-making process about mode of birth after CS.

Abstract
Interpregnancy care aims to maximize a woman's level of wellness not just in between pregnancies and during subsequent pregnancies, but also along her life course. Because the interpregnancy period is a continuum for overall health and wellness, all women of reproductive age who have been pregnant regardless of the outcome of their pregnancies (ie, miscarriage, abortion, preterm, full-term delivery), should receive interpregnancy care as a continuum from postpartum care. The initial components of interpregnancy care should include the components of postpartum care, such as reproductive life planning, screening for depression, vaccination, managing diabetes or hypertension if needed, education about future health, assisting the patient to develop a postpartum care team, and making plans for long-term medical care. In women with chronic medical conditions, interpregnancy care provides an opportunity to optimize health before a subsequent pregnancy. For women who will not have any future pregnancies, the period after pregnancy also affords an opportunity for secondary prevention and improvement of future health.

Abstract
Objectives Over the past few decades, the prevalence of cesarean sections (CS) have risen dramatically worldwide, particularly in Iran. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of CS in Tehran, and to examine the associated risk factors. Methods A cross-sectional study of 4,308 pregnant women with singleton live-births in Tehran, Iran, between July 6–21, 2015 was performed. Multilevel logistic regression analysis was performed using demographic and obstetrical variables at the first level, and hospitals as a variable at the second level. Results The incidence of CS was 72.0%. Multivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between CS and the mother’s age, socioeconomic status, body mass index, parity, type of pregnancy, preeclampsia, infant height, and baby’s head circumference. The intra-class correlation using the second level variable, the hospital was 0.292, indicating approximately 29.2% of the total variation in the response variable accounted for by the hospital. Conclusion The incidence of CS was substantially higher than other countries. Therefore, educational and psychological interventions are necessary to reduce CS rates amongst pregnant Iranian women.

Abstract
Obesity is common in women of childbearing age, and management of this population around the time of pregnancy involves specific challenges. Weight and medical comorbidities should be optimized both before and during pregnancy. During pregnancy, gestational weight gain should be limited, comorbidities should be appropriately screened for and managed, and fetal health should be monitored. Consideration should be given to the optimal timing of delivery and to reducing surgical and anesthetic complications. In the postpartum period, breastfeeding and weight loss should be promoted. Maternal obesity is associated with adverse metabolic effects in offspring, promoting an intergenerational cycle of obesity.

Abstract
PURPOSE Examine associations between interpregnancy body mass index (BMI) change (difference in the pre-pregnancy BMIs of two consecutive pregnancies) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), pre-eclampsia (PE), gestational hypertension (GHtn), primary cesarean delivery, and vaginal birth after cesarean delivery (VBAC). METHODS Modified Poisson regression models estimated adjusted associations. RESULTS Every 1-unit increase in interpregnancy BMI increased risks of GDM (relative risk [RR]: 1.09; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.07-1.11), PE (RR: 1.06; 95% CI, 1.04-1.09), GHtn (RR: 1.08; 95% CI, 1.06-1.10), and primary cesarean delivery (RR: 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.05) and decreased the risk of a successful VBAC (RR: 0.98; 95% CI: 0.97-0.997) in the second pregnancy. A BMI increase of ≥3 units increased risks of GDM (RR: 1.71, 95% CI, 1.52-1.93), PE (RR: 1.60, 95% CI, 1.33-1.94), GHtn (RR: 1.66, 95% CI, 1.42-1.94), and primary cesarean delivery (RR: 1.29, 95% CI, 1.12-1.49) and decreased the risk of a successful VBAC (RR: 0.89; 95% CI, 0.80-0.99) compared to women with interpregnancy BMI change within -1 and +1 unit. GDM was also increased among women increasing their BMI by ≥2 but <3 units (RR: 1.40; 95% CI, 1.21-1.61) and among those gaining ≥1 but <2 units (RR: 1.23; 95% CI, 1.08-1.40). CONCLUSION An interpregnancy BMI increase of ≥3 units is associated with an increased risk of all outcomes. These findings emphasize the importance of interpregnancy weight management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Approximately one third of all deliveries in the United States are via cesarean. Previous research indicates weight gain during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of cesarean delivery. It remains unclear, however, whether and to what degree weight gain between deliveries (ie, interdelivery weight gain) is associated with cesarean delivery in a subsequent pregnancy following a vaginal delivery. OBJECTIVES The objective of the study was to determine whether interdelivery weight gain is associated with an increased risk of intrapartum cesarean delivery following a vaginal delivery. STUDY DESIGN This was a case-control study of women who had 2 consecutive singleton births of at least 36 weeks' gestation between 2005 and 2016, with a vaginal delivery in the index pregnancy. Women were excluded if they had a contraindication to a trial of labor (eg, fetal malpresentation or placenta previa) in the subsequent pregnancy. Maternal characteristics and delivery outcomes for both pregnancies were abstracted from the medical record. Maternal weight gain between deliveries was measured as the change in body mass index at delivery. Women who underwent a subsequent cesarean delivery were compared with those who had a repeat vaginal delivery using χ2 statistics for categorical variables and Student t tests or analysis of variance for continuous variables. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine whether interdelivery weight gain remained independently associated with intrapartum cesarean delivery after adjusting for potential confounders. RESULTS Of 10,396 women who met eligibility criteria and had complete data, 218 (2.1%) had a cesarean delivery in the subsequent pregnancy. Interdelivery weight gain was significantly associated with cesarean delivery and remained significant in multivariable analysis for women with a body mass index increase of at least 2 kg/m2 (adjusted odds ratio, 1.53, 95% confidence interval, 1.03-2.27 for a body mass index increase of 2 kg/m2 to <4 kg/m2; adjusted odds ratio, 1.99, 95% confidence interval, 1.19-3.34 for body mass index increase of 4 kg/m2 or more). Furthermore, women who gained 2 kg/m2 or more were significantly more likely to undergo cesarean delivery specifically for the indications of arrest of dilation or arrest of descent (adjusted odds ratio, 2.01, 95% confidence interval, 1.21-3.33 for body mass index increase of 2 to <4 kg/m2; adjusted odds ratio, 2.34, 95% confidence interval, 1.15-4.76 for body mass index increase of ≥4 kg/m2). Contrarily, women who lost ≥2 kg/m2 were less likely to undergo any cesarean delivery (adjusted odds ratio, 0.41, 95% confidence interval, 0.21-0.78) as well as less likely to undergo cesarean delivery for an arrest disorder (adjusted odds ratio, 0.29, 95% confidence interval, 0.10-0.82). Weight gain or loss was not significantly associated with a cesarean delivery for fetal indications. CONCLUSION Among women with a prior vaginal delivery, interdelivery weight gain was independently associated with an increased risk of intrapartum cesarean delivery in a subsequent pregnancy.

Abstract
Obesity in women of reproductive age is increasing in prevelance worldwide. Obesity reduces fertility and increases time taken to conceive, and obesity-related comorbidities (such as type 2 diabetes and chronic hypertension) heighten the risk of adverse outcomes for mother and child if the woman becomes pregnant. Pregnant women who are obese are more likely to have early pregnancy loss, and have increased risk of congenital fetal malformations, delivery of large for gestational age infants, shoulder dystocia, spontaneous and medically indicated premature birth, and stillbirth. Late pregnancy complications include gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia, both of which are associated with long-term morbidities post partum. Women with obesity can also experience difficulties during labour and delivery, and are more at risk of post-partum haemorrhage. Long-term health risks are associated with weight retention after delivery, and inherent complications for the next pregnancy. The wellbeing of the next generation is also compromised. All these health issues could be avoided by prevention of obesity among women of reproductive age, which should be viewed as a global public health priority. For women who are already obese, renewed efforts should be made towards improved management during pregnancy, especially of blood glucose, and increased attention to post-partum weight management. Effective interventions, tailored to ethnicity and culture, are needed at each of these stages to improve the health of women and their children in the context of the global obesity epidemic.

Abstract
Preconception care is designed to identify and reduce biomedical, behavioral, and social risks to the health of a woman or her baby before pregnancy occurs. Few women present requesting preconception care; however, 1 in 10 US women of childbearing age will become pregnant each year. As primary care physicians (PCPs) care for reproductive-aged women before, between, and after their pregnancies, they are ideally positioned to help women address health risks before conception, including optimizing chronic conditions, to prevent adverse pregnancy and longer-term health outcomes. PCPs can help women make informed decisions both about preparing for pregnancy and about using effective contraception when pregnancy is not desired.
