Nearly half of all women exceed the 2009 Institute of Medicine guidelines for gestational weight gain. Excess gestational weight gain is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Our objective was to determine whether having a personal gestational weight gain goal consistent with the Institute of Medicine's recommendations for appropriate gestational weight gain and whether having a discussion with one's obstetrical provider regarding that goal were associated with appropriate gestational weight gain.

This is a secondary analysis of the Nulliparous Pregnancy Outcomes Study Monitoring Mothers-To-Be study, a prospective cohort study of nulliparous women. We asked women at their first study visit (between 6 and 13 weeks' gestation) whether they had a gestational weight gain goal and what that goal was. Furthermore, we asked whether their provider discussed a gestational weight gain goal and what that goal was. We classified personal and provider-recommended gestational weight gain goals as consistent or l weight gain goal consistent with the Institute of Medicine's recommendations were less likely to have excessive or inadequate gestational weight gain. Further study is required to evaluate the most effective way to communicate this information to patients.

The United States Preventive Services Task Force recommends that clinicians provide or refer pregnant and postpartum women who are at an increased risk of perinatal depression to counseling interventions. However, this prevention goal requires effective interventions that reach women at risk of, but before, the development of a depressive disorder.

We describe a pilot efficacy trial of a novel dyadic intervention to prevent common maternal mental health disorders, that is, Practical Resources for Effective Postpartum Parenting, in a sample of women at risk of maternal mental health disorders based on poverty status. We hypothesized that Practical Resources for Effective Postpartum Parenting compared with enhanced treatment as usual would reduce symptoms of maternal mental health disorders after birth.

A total of 60 pregnant women who were recruited from obstetrical practices at Columbia University Irving Medical Center were randomized to the Practical Resources for Effective Postpartum Parenting (n=30) intervention integrated within obstetrical care, improves subclinical symptomology for at-risk dyads at a crucial time in the early postpartum period; however, our study did not detect reductions in the incidence of postpartum mental disorders.

The incidence of opioid use disorder during pregnancy has risen dramatically in the last couple of decades. this website Despite the safety and efficacy of treatment for opioid use during pregnancy, pregnant women often cannot access treatment.

This study aimed to determine the availability of opioid agonist therapy to pregnant women in Missouri and Illinois and to compare different markers of treatment accessibility between opioid treatment programs and buprenorphine providers and between rural and urban practices.

Buprenorphine providers and opioid treatment programs in Missouri and Illinois were identified using the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration website. A phone audit was conducted to evaluate barriers to care, including whether clinics accepted new patients, pregnant patients, and insurance, and the time to the first appointment and appointment cost. Rural-urban commuting area codes and practice ZIP codes were used to determine whether practice location was rural or urban. Provider spnce status barriers.

7 days. Opioid treatment programs were more responsive and accepting of new pregnant patients but comprised a minority of clinics and were predominately located in urban areas. There is an urgent need for improved reliability of contact information for opioid agonist providers, timely intake and acceptance for treatment of pregnant patients, and overall improved access to clinics that are challenged by geographic and insurance status barriers.

Maternal psychosocial stress, including experiences of discrimination, has been linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes. Perceived discrimination may activate the chronic stress response, the downstream effects of which include dysregulation of metabolic and immune systems. The effect of perceived discrimination on the development of gestational diabetes mellitus, a metabolic disorder of pregnancy, has not been evaluated.

This study aimed to evaluate the association between perceived maternal discrimination and incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus.

A prospective cohort study of 744 pregnant women was conducted from 2013 to 2015 at 4 sites in the United States. Participants were women who were ≥18 years old with a singleton pregnancy, <21 weeks pregnant when recruited into the study, and English speaking without fetal anomalies, progesterone treatment, or corticosteroid use during pregnancy. Women with pregestational diabetes were excluded from the study. Participants with a gestational age betweenperates via a pathway that includes obesity. Future studies should examine this and other mechanistic pathways that may underlie these associations.

Operative vaginal delivery rates continue to drop nationally with many citing neonatal safety concerns as a primary driver of this decrease. Previous evidence on short-term neonatal outcomes does not support this concern.

This study aimed to better understand the impact of delivery mode on childhood educational outcomes.

A statewide retrospective cohort was created in which third grade Rhode Island Department of Education data for 2014 to 2017 were linked to Rhode Island Department of Health birth certificate data. Children's third grade reading and math proficiencies were compared by the mode of delivery listed in their birth certificates. The study population was limited to children who were term, singleton births without congenital anomalies. The mode of delivery was classified as operative vaginal (forceps or vacuum), primary cesarean, or spontaneous vaginal delivery. Children born via repeat cesarean delivery were excluded. Bivariate analyses were conducted to assess differences in demographic variwas compared with primary cesarean delivery (reading, adjusted risk ratio, 0.97; 95% confidence interval, 0.93-1.01; math, adjusted risk ratio, 0.98; 95% confidence interval, 0.94-1.01).

Operative vaginal delivery was not associated with differences in later childhood educational outcomes after adjusting for baseline differences. This should assuage previous concerns about long-term safety outcomes after operative vaginal delivery and may assist in shared decision making when operative vaginal or primary cesarean delivery is being considered.

This study aimed to determine the optimal cervical priming regimen before surgical abortion up to and including 13

weeks' gestation.

Embase, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library were searched for publications up to February 2020. Experts were consulted for any ongoing or missed trials.

This study included randomized controlled trials published in English after 2000 that compared the following (1) mifepristone and misoprostol against each other, placebo, or no priming; (2) different doses of mifepristone or misoprostol; (3) different intervals between priming and abortion; or (4) different routes of misoprostol administration.

Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration checklist for randomized controlled trials, and data were metaanalyzed in Review Manager 5.3. Dichotomous outcomes were analyzed as risk ratios using the Mantel-Haenszel method, and continuous outcomes were analyzed as mean differences using the inverse variance method. Fixed effects models were used when there was no subsepristone.

The use of 17-α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate for the prevention of recurrent spontaneous preterm birth has become widespread, yet there are conflicting data regarding its efficacy.

We sought to determine whether administration of 17-α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate was associated with pregnancy prolongation in women at a high risk of recurrent spontaneous preterm birth.

This is a retrospective cohort study of women with singleton pregnancies and a history of spontaneous preterm birth at <37 weeks' gestation who received care at our academic tertiary care center between 2009 and 2019. We included women with gestations that progressed beyond 16 weeks. We excluded those who underwent history-indicated cerclage placement. We first examined the characteristics of women who received 17-α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate and those who did not. Covariates with a P value of ≤.2 on this univariate analysis were considered for incorporation into a Cox proportional hazards model to assess the association between 17-α- in daily clinical practice and pregnancy prolongation up to 35 weeks. This finding adds to the mounting evidence that calls into question the drug's efficacy in reducing the risk of recurrent spontaneous preterm birth.

Malpositions and deflexed cephalic malpresentations are well recognized causes of dysfunctional labor, may result in fetal and maternal complications, and are diagnosed more precisely with an ultrasound examination than with a digital examination.

This study aimed to assess the incidence of malpositions and deflexed cephalic malpresentations at the beginning of the second stage of labor and to evaluate the role of the sonographic diagnosis of deflexion in the prediction of the mode of delivery.

Women in labor with a singleton pregnancy at term with fetuses in a cephalic presentation at 10 cm of cervical dilatation were prospectively examined. A transabdominal ultrasound was performed to assess the fetal head position by demonstrating the fetal occiput or the eyes. Deflexion was assessed by the measurement of the occiput-spine angle when the occiput was anterior or transverse and by qualitative assessment of the relationship between chin and thorax when the occiput was posterior. Transperineal ultrasound was performed in occiput posterior fetuses to discriminate between sinciput, brow, and face presentation.
