Evaluating the performance of an AI-powered VBAC prediction system within a decision-aid birth choice platform for shared decision-making.

Background: Vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) is generally regarded as a safe and viable birthing option for most women with prior cesarean delivery. Nonetheless, concerns about heightened risks of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes have often dissuaded women from considering VBAC. This study aimed to assess the performance of an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered VBAC prediction system integrated into a decision-aid birth choice platform for shared decision-making (SDM).

[The Impact of Late Umbilical Cord Clamping on Neonatal Jaundice and Postpartum Hemorrhage: A Randomized Controlled Trail].

Background: The current evidence supports the clinical benefits of late umbilical cord clamping. These benefits include increased blood volume and total body iron. Furthermore, delayed cord clamping facilitates the transplantation of stem cells, which helps the development of infant bodily systems.

Factors related to milk supply perception in women who underwent cesarean section.

Background: Perceived insufficient milk supply is common among postpartum women and is a major reason for early weaning. Studies indicate a significantly higher incidence of insufficient milk supply in women who undergo cesarean section as compared with women who undergo vaginal delivery.

Purpose: This study was designed to determine perceived milk supply in postpartum women who underwent a planned cesarean section, as well as related factors.

Evaluation of the effects of a birth plan on Taiwanese women's childbirth experiences, control and expectations fulfilment: a randomised controlled trial.

Background: In many western countries, pregnant women often prepare birth plans, outlining how they would like their childbirth experiences to proceed. However there have been no experimental studies to evaluate the effect of birth plans.

Objective: The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of birth plans on women's fulfilment of their childbirth expectations, their control over the birth process, and overall experiences.
