«Many studies have concluded that the shift to
planned cesarean delivery has not improved breech outcomes.
For example, in one of the few randomized trials of approach to delivery, women with a breech presentation were randomized to undergo
planned cesarean delivery or planned vaginal delivery, although there was crossover in both treatment arms (5).
In fact, four years later, the authors published follow - up results to the study, concluding, «
planned cesarean delivery is not associated with a reduction in risk of death or neuro - developmental delay in children at 2 years of age.»

Association between
Planned Out - of - Hospital Birth and a Composite Neonatal Outcome and
Cesarean Delivery, According to Subgroups.
Planned out - of - hospital birth remained strongly associated with decreased odds of induced labor (adjusted odds ratio, 0.11; 95 % CI, 0.09 to 0.12),
cesarean delivery (adjusted odds ratio, 0.18; 95 % CI, 0.16 to 0.22), and other obstetrical procedures and increased odds of unassisted vaginal
delivery (adjusted odds ratio, 5.63; 95 % CI, 4.84 to 6.55).
To assess the robustness of the results of our regression analysis, we performed covariate adjustment with derived propensity scores to calculate the absolute risk difference (details are provided in the Supplementary Appendix, available with the full text of this article at NEJM.org).14, 15 To calculate the adjusted absolute risk difference, we used predictive margins and G - computation (i.e., regression - model — based outcome prediction in both exposure settings:
planned in - hospital and
planned out - of - hospital birth).16, 17 Finally, we conducted post hoc analyses to assess associations between
planned out - of - hospital birth and outcomes (
cesarean delivery and a composite of perinatal morbidity and mortality), which were stratified according to parity, maternal age, maternal education, and risk level.
In addition, much of the data compiled on vaginal
delivery looks at «positive outcomes» alone (i.e. a
planned vaginal
delivery that ends up as a vaginal
delivery) rather than «all
planned vaginal
delivery outcomes» (including those that result in emergency
cesareans) and their subsequent mortalities or morbidities.
The
planned home birth outcomes included much lower rates of epidural, episiotomy, and assisted

planned, women should be informed that the risk of perinatal or neonatal mortality or short - term serious neonatal morbidity may be higher than if a

planned, and the patient's informed consent should be documented.
Our aim was to improve on - time scheduled
cesarean delivery start times.A multidisciplinary team (obstetrician - gynecologist, nursing, anesthesia, and hospital administration) met to review scheduled
cesarean delivery data, identify logistic barriers to on - time starts, and develop a
plan to improve
cesarean delivery start times.
After identifying possible barriers to on - time starts, the following process was instituted:
planned preoperative visit 1 - 2 days before scheduled
cesarean delivery, mandatory submission of History & Physical and consent forms by the time of the preoperative visit, and initial preparation of the first scheduled patient for cesaren
delivery by nighttime nursing before morning change of shift.

deliveries and
planned Cesarean births (reviewed in [20]-RRB-, and even between mothers with different types of «secretor» genes [21].
Childbirth education does appear to be able to reduce fear of childbirth.5 While one study found childbirth education associated with increased odds of vaginal
delivery, this may be due to the high proportion of women with a
planned repeat
cesarean in the control group.6
Compared with women who
planned a hospital birth with a midwife or physician in attendance, those who
planned a home birth were significantly less likely to experience any of the obstetric interventions we assessed, including electronic fetal monitoring, augmentation of labour, assisted vaginal
delivery,
cesarean delivery and episiotomy (Table 3).
Data comparing the rates of VBAC, as well as maternal and neonatal outcomes, after TOLAC to those after
planned repeat
cesarean delivery can help guide obstetricians or other obstetric care providers and patients when deciding how to approach
delivery in women with a prior
cesarean delivery.
Trial of labor after
cesarean delivery (TOLAC) refers to a

Delivery decisions made during the first pregnancy after a cesarean delivery will likely affect plans in future preg

cesarean delivery will likely affect plans in future preg
delivery will likely affect
plans in future pregnancies.
Comparing outcomes from VBAC or repeat
cesarean delivery after TOLAC with those from a
planned repeat
cesarean delivery is inappropriate because no one patient can be guaranteed VBAC, and the risks and benefits may be disproportionately associated with failed TOLAC.
Let me be very clear though, ACOG does not recommend
planned VBAC attempt in women with three or more prior

They offer the statistics of uterine rupture with two previous
cesareans as 1.36 %, and ultimately state that provided the woman is fully informed of the increased risk and has undergone an individual risk assessment with her provider, then
planned VBAC may be supported in women with two or more previous lower segment
cesarean deliveries (NICE, 2015).
Significant predictors of exclusive breastfeeding to 6 months were baby's father support of exclusive breastfeeding (AOR 1.72; 95 % CI 1.01, 2.92),

The book examines: - why the research shows so little benefit for physiologic care and so little harm from medical - model management - what's behind the
cesarean epidemic - what the research establishes as optimal care for initiating labor, facilitating labor progress, guarding maternal and fetal safety, birthing the baby, and promoting safety for mother and baby after the birth - the true, quantified risks of primary
cesarean surgery,
planned VBAC versus elective repeat
cesarean, instrumental vaginal
delivery, and regional analgesia - how the organization of the maternity care system adversely impacts care outcomes
Planned out - of - hospital birth also had a statistically significant association with higher rates for 5 - minute Apgar scores of less than 7, neonatal seizures, neonatal ventilator support, maternal blood transfusion, and unassisted vaginal

delivery, or who don't detect problems like prolapsed umbilical cords may create conditions where the baby's brain is starved of oxygen, resulting in lifelong deficits in motor function and coordination.
Failure to

delivery) or to perform an emergency
cesarean section in the presence of fetal distress
Premium — Obvious to state, the premium for the
