Objective: To investigate the characteristics of labor in Chinese women who successfully have vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC).
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in a hospital with 1000 beds between January 1 2015 and December 31 2017. A total 657 parturients with VBAC were selected. Women were divided into two groups according to previous cesarean section with or without trial of labor. Labor curves were analyzed and interval-censored regression was used to estimate the duration of labor.
Results: The 95th percentile for the first stage of labor in VBAC was 13.03 hours, and labor accelerated after 4 cm of cervical dilation in both groups. The dilation rate in the trial of labor group was superior to that in the non-trial of labor group at 6–10 cm of dilation. After 6 cm, labor accelerated much faster in the trial of labor group than in the non-trial of labor group.
Conclusions: Management of labor in parturients with VBAC whose cervical dilation is >6 cm should be treated differently according to previous cesarean section with or without trial of labor. If there is trial of labor in a previous delivery, the duration of labor should be shortened.

Maternal and perinatal outcomes after implementation of a more active management in late- and postterm pregnancies in Sweden: A population-based cohort study.
PLoS Med

Region Västra Götaland, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Background: The risk of perinatal death and severe neonatal morbidity increases gradually after 41 weeks of pregnancy. We evaluated maternal and perinatal outcomes after a national shift from expectancy and induction at 42+0 weeks to a more active management of late-term pregnancies in Sweden offering induction from 41+0 weeks or an individual plan aiming at birth or active labour no later than 42+0 weeks.
Methods And Findings: Women with a singleton pregnancy lasting 41+0 weeks or more with a fetus in cephalic presentation (N = 150,370) were included in a nationwide, register-based cohort study.

Objective: To investigate short-term maternal and neonatal outcomes in individuals with twin pregnancies and two prior cesarean deliveries who underwent trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC).
Methods: A cross-sectional study of live-birth data was conducted between 2014 and 2021 in the United States. Individuals with more than two prior cesarean deliveries and multiple gestations higher than twins were excluded.

Cervical balloon catheter versus Dilapan-S for outpatient cervical ripening: A randomized controlled trial.
Am J Obstet Gynecol MFM
January 2025
Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital.
Background: As induction of labor increases in the United States, safe, effective outpatient cervical ripening has been explored as a method to decrease the inpatient time burden. The most effective method of outpatient mechanical cervical ripening remains unclear.
Objective: To evaluate if Dilapan-S is non-inferior to cervical balloon for outpatient cervical ripening (CR) based on change in Bishop score.
