Background: Few pregnant women in France wrote birth plans as in many other countries. The literature stresses the heterogeneity of birth plan content, which limits the utility of assessing the effects of birth plans on women's experience of childbirth. This study aimed to obtain a French national consensus on the structure and content of birth plans.

- The study investigates midwife-led birth centers (MLBCs) versus obstetric-led units (OUs) in France, focusing on severe adverse outcomes and modes of birth for low-risk women.
- Using nationwide data from 1,294 women in MLBCs and 5,985 in OUs, researchers analyzed maternal and neonatal morbidity rates and factors like postpartum hemorrhage and the use of oxytocin.
- Results showed that while severe outcomes were slightly higher in MLBCs (4.6% vs. 3.4%), the difference was not significant after adjustments, with notable concerns about higher severe maternal morbidity linked to postpartum hemorrhage in MLBCs.
Objective: To investigate first, the association between endometriosis and preterm birth; second, the associations between endometriosis and preeclampsia, placenta previa, postpartum hemorrhage, stillbirth, and small-for-gestational-age infants (assessed by birthweight); and third, the risk of these adverse pregnancy outcomes with and without the use of medically assisted reproduction.
Design: Multicenter retrospective cohort study.
Patients: Deliveries by 368,935 women (377,338 infants) from 1999 through 2016.
Small for gestational age (SGA) newborns have a higher risk of poor outcomes. French Guiana (FG) is a territory in South America with poor living conditions. The objectives of this study were to describe risk factors associated with SGA newborns in FG.

- - The study focused on identifying risk factors for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) in women with previous cesarean deliveries and either placenta previa or a low-lying placenta, using data from 2013 to 2015.
- - Out of over 520,000 deliveries, 396 women met the criteria, with 108 diagnosed with PAS, showing a significant correlation between the number of prior cesareans and the rate of PAS, which could range from 5% to 63%.
- - Key risk factors for developing PAS included having a BMI of 30 or higher, previous uterine surgeries, past postpartum hemorrhage, multiple cesarean deliveries, and presence of placenta previa, indicating that risk stratification is
