Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

The role of fetal viability in perineal and anal sphincter injury: Insights from a large cohort study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Perineal injury is a common complication of vaginal delivery with implications for maternal morbidity. Injuries range from minor lacerations to severe obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASI). The role of fetal viability in perineal outcomes remains unclear.

Evidence for the benefit of prenatal pelvimetry in breech presentation at term: A low intertuberous distance is associated with assisted head delivery and short‐term neonatal morbidity

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Guidelines on vaginal breech delivery have several restrictions concerning feto‐maternal parameters. To date, they neglect the impact of prenatal pelvimetry, especially of the intertuberous distance (ITD), in nulliparous women attempting vaginal breech birth.

Evaluating the effect of two different training interventions on improving vaginal twin birth rates and provider confidence and knowledge levels: A pre‐ and post‐intervention study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Despite the increasing trend in cesarean section rates in multiple pregnancies, vaginal delivery in twin pregnancies appears both possible and safe. Methods This retrospective multicenter study compared outcomes before and after the implementation of a vaginal twin intervention in two Italian hospitals. In January 2021 in Pescara and

Ewe-lamb bonding behaviours at birth are affected by maternal undernutrition in pregnancy [PDF]

, 2003
Maternal undernutrition in pregnancy results in low birth-weights and impaired postnatal survival in sheep. Largely anecdotal evidence suggests that the expression of appropriate maternal and neonate behaviours may also be disrupted by undernutrition. In
