Unlabelled: While previous research has established correlations between pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), late-pregnancy blood glucose, and late-pregnancy blood lipid levels during pregnancy and offspring's physical development, the underlying mechanism of their interaction remains elusive. A birth cohort study was conducted on pregnant women, who are biologically female, delivering at a tertiary hospital in Wuhan City between May 2023 and April 2024, encompassing 1620 participants. We collected maternal socio-demographic data through questionnaires and obtained information on fasting blood glucose (FPG), lipid levels during the third trimester, and neonatal physical development from medical records.

Background: The French guidelines have recommended a restrictive policy of episiotomy since 2005. We aimed to assess variations in the prevalence of both episiotomy and obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) from the 2010, 2016, and 2021 National Perinatal Surveys.

Methods And Findings: A total of 29,750 women who had given birth to a live infant by vaginal delivery were included.

Objective: The maternal metabolic environment in early pregnancy can influence fetal growth trajectories. Our objective was to identify interventions initiated in early pregnancy (<20 weeks gestation) in pregnant individuals with risk factors for hyperglycemia and report their impact on primary (neonatal adiposity, small for gestational age, large for gestational age, macrosomia) and secondary outcomes (gestational weight gain, maternal hypertensive disorder, birth injury, NICU admission, preterm delivery, emergency cesarean section).

Data Sources: We searched Cochrane Central database, Medline, Embase, CINAHL databases, and clinicaltrials.

Objective: The aims of this study were to determine the incidence of macrosomic births over a 5-year period and to examine the childbirth complications for both mother and newborn.

Patients And Methods: During the study period there were a total of 16,126 deliveries, of which 1905 were macrosomic fetuses (defined as those with a birthweight of 4000 g or more). Data on the course of pregnancy and childbirth were collected from existing maternal and peripartum medical records.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates the effects of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) on pregnancy outcomes for women with pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM).
  • A total of 387 women were analyzed, comparing those using CGM to those relying on self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG).
  • Results show that CGM users experienced lower weight gain, fewer prenatal visits, and reduced cesarean section and macrosomia rates, indicating better overall pregnancy outcomes.
