Cervical cerclage after prior uterine and cervical surgery.

Objective: To evaluate cerclage placement after uterine and cervical surgery.

Patients And Methods: We compared patients with a prior uterine surgery (with or without cervical surgery) with women having a cerclage for the "classical" indications. Under the classical indications fall history of one or more second-trimester pregnancy losses related to painless cervical dilation, prior cerclage due to painless cervical dilation in the second trimester, painless cervical dilation in the second trimester, ultrasonographic finding with a history of prior preterm birth, prior spontaneous preterm birth at less than 34 weeks of gestation and short cervical length (less than 25 mm) before 24 weeks of gestation.

Maternal BMI and weight gain in singleton pregnancies: has something changed in the last decade?

To assess the trend of the pregravid body mass index (BMI), pregnancy weight gain, and BMI gain in singleton pregnancies delivered at ≥38 completed weeks during the last decade.
