Importance: Metformin and glyburide monotherapy are used as alternatives to insulin in managing gestational diabetes. Whether a sequential strategy of these oral agents results in noninferior perinatal outcomes compared with insulin alone is unknown.
Objective: To test whether a treatment strategy of oral glucose-lowering agents is noninferior to insulin for prevention of large-for-gestational-age infants.

Purpose: Class III obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 40 kg·m) is associated with high rates of Cesarean deliveries and postpartum hemorrhage, with increased maternal and fetal morbidity. The doses of oxytocin and carbetocin are two to four times higher at Cesarean delivery in patients with class III obesity. We sought to investigate the efficacy of carbetocin 80 µg iv compared with oxytocin 1 IU iv (plus infusion) at elective Cesarean delivery in parturients with class III obesity.

Introduction: Vasa previa (VP) is a serious pregnancy complication in which fetal vessels, unprotected by the umbilical cord, run across or within close proximity to the internal cervical os, which can potentially result in fetal exsanguination in the event of membrane rupture. There is global consensus that women with antenatally diagnosed VP should have caesarean delivery prior to onset of labour to prevent the catastrophic complications of VP. However, there is variability in the approach to management of these women antenatally, particularly regarding hospitalisation and timing of steroid administration and delivery.
