Objectives: To evaluate if internal version with ruptured membranes is a risk factor of cesarean section for the second twin.
Patients And Methods: Two hundred and fifty-nine twins vaginal deliveries after 33 weeks of gestation from 1997 to 2009 in a level 3 maternity. A retrospective case-control study comparing two groups: cases of cesarean section on second twin and five twins vaginal deliveries following the case. Active management of the second twin delivery was performed with a short intertwin delivery.
Results: Eleven cesarean sections on the second twin were performed (4.2%). The main indication was failure of internal version. The risk of cesarean section was significantly greater when the internal version was performed with ruptured membranes (OR: 25.4 IC 95% [2.3-275.7] P<0.003) and when intertwin time delivery interval was increased (8.1±5.1 vs 16.7±6.3, P<0.001).
Discussion And Conclusion: The rupture of amniotic membranes before or during the internal podalic version is associated with a risk of failure and cesarean for the second twin. We recommend to perform the internal podalic version with unruptured membranes according to the French recommendations.

The benefits and risks of delivery should always be considered before initiating preinduction cervical ripening and labor induction. Understanding the benefits and potential complications is crucial for healthcare professionals to make informed decisions and provide optimal care. The research was conducted retrospectively between January 2019 and July 2022.

Purpose: To comprehensively compare the diagnostic ability and inter-reader agreement of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings for predicting massive hemorrhage after cesarean section in patients with placental malposition, aiming to identify the most reliable and objective indicators.
Methods: Totally, 148 consecutive patients with placental malposition underwent MRI and cesarean section at our hospital between January 2014 and July 2021. The patients were divided into massive and non-massive hemorrhage groups.

Over 30% of births in the United States occur via cesarean section despite increased risks to the birthing person and neonate. Evidence-based nursing practice related to fetal monitoring, patient positioning, and management of the second stage of labor can decrease the incidence of cesarean birth. The objective is to decrease the cesarean birth rate by 3% in a Midwestern suburban hospital.

Adrenal haemorrhage in pregnancy is rare but can lead to significant maternal and foetal morbidity if unrecognised. We present the case of a 25-year-old woman in her second pregnancy, who was admitted at 34+4 weeks of gestation with severe abdominal pain. Despite initial unremarkable assessments, further imaging revealed a left adrenal haemorrhage, with evidence of prior right adrenal infarction, resulting in primary adrenal insufficiency.
