TL;DR: Induction of labor at 39 weeks in low‐risk nulliparous women did not result in a significantly lower frequency of a composite adverse perinatal outcome, but it did result in less frequency of cesarean delivery.

TL;DR: The rate of twin pregnancies in the United States has stabilized at 32 per 1000 births in 2006 as mentioned in this paper, and the rate of preterm twin births increased from 1989-2000, for African American and white women alike.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the prevalence of and ability to identify macrosomic (birthweight >4000 g) fetuses and proposed an algorithm for treatment of suspected macrosomia.

TL;DR: It is indicated that, among high-risk pregnancies with suspected IUGR, the use of umbilical arterial Doppler assessment significantly decreases the likelihood of labor induction, cesarean delivery, and perinatal deaths.

TL;DR: Despite the introduction of ancillary obstetric maneuvers, such as McRoberts maneuver and a generalized trend towards the avoidance of fundal pressure, it has been shown that the rate of shoulder-dystocia associated brachial plexus palsy has not decreased and all healthcare providers attending pregnancies must be prepared to handle vaginal deliveries complicated by shoulder dystokia.
