Machine learning approaches for predicting fetal macrosomia at different stages of pregnancy: a retrospective study in China

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth
Background Macrosomia presents significant risks to both maternal and neonatal health, however, accurate antenatal prediction remains a major challenge. This study aimed to develop machine learning approaches to enhance the prediction of fetal macrosomia

Association between the Maternal Gut Microbiome and Macrosomia

Fetal macrosomia is defined as a birthweight ≥4000 g and causes harm to pregnant women and fetuses. Studies reported that the maternal intestinal microbiome plays a key role in the establishment, growth, and development of the fetal intestinal ...

The Maternal Blood Transcriptome Reflects Molecular Signatures Associated With Large Offspring Syndrome and Other Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes in Cattle

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 20, 31 October 2026.
Blood samples from pregnant heifers carrying in vitro‐produced embryos were analyzed for RNA‐sequencing to test whether maternal blood transcriptome could be predictive of large offspring syndrome, stillbirth, and abortion compared with controls.

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

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2214-2239, October 2026.
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

Association of novel intra‐cesarean post‐placental intrauterine device insertion techniques, and early ultrasound, with expulsion rates and strings visibility: A prospective exploratory study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 175, Issue 1, Page 226-232, October 2026.
Abstract Objective To assess an innovative technique of intra‐cesarean post‐placental insertion of the Copper T380A IUD (CPPIUD), and explore the role of predischarge ultrasound with replacement of low‐lying IUDs. Methods We conducted a prospective observational study at Princess Marina Hospital, Gaborone, Botswana, from May 31, 2023, to April 3, 2024.

Influence of maternal body mass index on the accuracy of clinical and sonographic fetal weight estimation

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 175, Issue 1, Page 263-272, October 2026.
Abstract Objective Estimated fetal weight (EFW) is essential for managing pregnancy and delivery. Currently, two primary methods are used for EFW: Clinical and sonographic estimation. Both might be influenced by maternal habitus. Obesity has become a global epidemic; however, its effect on EFW and the accuracy of the two methods has yet to be ...

Mosaicism for Cohen–Gibson Syndrome in a Female Individual With Overgrowth and Neurodevelopmental Delay

Molecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
Postzygotic EED mosaicism: c.1091G > T; p.(Trp364Leu) in a 12‐year‐old female with overgrowth–intellectual disability syndrome (Cohen–Gibson syndrome). Variant allele fractions: 31% blood, 30% saliva, 11%–17% buccal mucosa. This expands the spectrum of EED‐related disorders, highlighting mosaic screening for diagnosis, counselling, and future therapies.

Impact of oxytocin discontinuation on fetal heart rate and uterine contractility: A pre‐specified ancillary analysis embedded within a randomized trial

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 105, Issue 10, Page 1985-1993, October 2026.
The impact of oxytocin discontinuation at the onset of the active phase of labor on fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns and uterine activity; One hour following discontinuation, the mean FHR baseline slightly increased, FHR patterns improved—particularly with reduced decelerations and improved variability—and uterine activity decreased. Moreover, among the
