Objective To investigate risk of recurrence of labour dystocia and mode of delivery in second labour after taking first labour and fetal and maternal characteristics into account.. Design A population-based cohort study.. Setting The Swedish Medical Birth Register from 1992 to 2006.. Population A total of 239 953 women who gave birth to their first and second singleton infants in cephalic presentation at ≥37 weeks of gestation with spontaneous onset of labour.. Methods We used logistic regression analysis to estimate crude and adjusted odds ratios.. Main outcome measures Labour dystocia and mode of delivery in second labour.. Results Overall labour dystocia affected only 12% of women with previous dystocia. Regardless of mode of first delivery, rates of dystocia in the second labour were higher in women with than without previous dystocia, but were more pronounced in women with previous caesarean section (34%). Analyses with risk score groups for dystocia (risk factors were long interpregnancy ...

Shoulder dystocia is a rare yet serious birth complication that occurs when one or both shoulders of the baby becomes stuck behind the opening of the birth canal or the mothers pelvic bone. This birth injury puts both the baby and the mother at an increased risk. It is an obstetric emergency, requiring quick and careful action by the delivery team to avoid serious complications.. Although shoulder dystocia often manifests for natural reasons, it can also occur as the result of medical malpractice by a negligent health care provider. If medical negligence played a role in your childs birth injury, you may be able to obtain compensation for the cost of immediate and future medical care and ongoing physical therapy, as well as pain and suffering.. In many cases, shoulder dystocia just requires some additional maneuvers by the medical team attending the birth. However, when shoulder dystocia is not treated properly or with its due urgency, life-changing consequences may result. Common birth ...

Objective. To investigate the effect of cervical dilation at the time of cesarean section due to dystocia and success in a subsequent pregnancy of attempted vaginal delivery. Design. Retrospective study. Setting. University hospital in Copenhagen capital area. Population. All women with a prior cesarean section due to dystocia who had undergone a subsequent pregnancy with a singleton delivery during 2006-2010. Methods. Medical records were reviewed for prior vaginal birth, cervical dilation reached before cesarean section and induction of labor, gestational age, use of oxytocin, epidural anesthesia and mode of birth was collected. Results. A total of 889 women were included; 373 had had a trial of labor. The success rate for vaginal birth among women with prior cesarean section for dystocia at 4-8 cm dilation was 39%, but 59% for women in whom prior cesarean section had been done at a fully or almost fully dilated cervix (9-10 cm) (p , 0.001).

Based on requirements for assistance at first parturition as two-year-olds, experimental results document the importance of dystocia in major breeds of Bos taurus cattle. In addition to the greater labor and managerial requirements associated with dystocia (calving difficulty), experimental results show that dystocia results in reduced perinatal calf survival and reduced conception rate in females in the subsequent breeding season when dystocia is experienced. There is not agreement on the value of pelvic measures as a predictor of dystocia at first parturition. Information is limited on the genetic relationship between pelvic measures and other factors that may be genetically associated with dystocia. Selection criteria and procedures that have high predictive value for dystocia and can be evaluated prior to an age of one year when selection decisions are normally made are needed to optimally combine information on a series of bioeconomic traits to increase selection response for reducing dystocia

In the dog, dramatic fetal losses may occur when whelping is not correctly managed. The wide range of clinical factors that have to be taken into account, and the complexity to sometimes diagnose dystocia, may be quite confusing. The aim of this study was to point out the risk factors affecting parturition and neonatal mortality in order to help veterinarians to anticipate dystocia, and to let them know early enough how and when a medical supply is required. Material and Methods. Data on 1615 pregnant bitches were collected in a database. Age ranged between 1 to 9 years (mean 3.5 years). The bitches belonged to 124 different pure breeds, dispatched into 10 different groups according to International Cynologic Federation (FCI) classification. Statistical analysis were carried out to study the correlations between maternal and fetal dystocia, neonatal mortality and the following parameters: age, breed category, weight, number of previous whelpings, duration of parturition, number of pups per ...

The Zavanelli maneuver is an obstetric maneuver that involves pushing back the delivered fetal head into the birth canal in anticipation of performing a cesarean section in cases of shoulder dystocia. The Zavanelli maneuver is performed only after other maneuvers have failed, as it is associated with high risk to both the mother and the fetus. A review published in 1985 found that 84 of 92 cases of Zavanelli maneuver were successful in replacing the head of the fetus back into the uterus. Risks of the maneuver to the mother include soft tissue damage and sepsis. The Zavanelli maneuver is not performed very often in the United States.

KEY POINTS: Obesity during pregnancy and childbirth is associated with labour dystocia leading to instrumental or operative delivery, but the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain unclear and insufficient uterine contractility has been suggested. This study examined whether reduced myometrial mitochondrial capacity or quantity could contribute as a pathophysiological mechanism to labour dystocia. Data did not support reduced myometrial mitochondrial capacity or quantity in the myometrium at term in obese women, but a reduced myocyte density with increased triglyceride content was demonstrated, which could lead to poorer uterine contractility. These results add to the understanding of systemic effects of obesity, placing also the myometrium at term as an affected non-adipose tissue.. ABSTRACT: Obesity is known to increase the risk of labour dystocia and insufficient energy supply, due to reduced mitochondrial capacity or quantity, could be a possible mechanism leading to reduced ...

In this prospective observational study of primiparas experience of childbirth, a high AFL level (≥12 mmol/L) and a long latent phase of labour seemed to be associated with a negative labour experience. A low Apgar score of the newborn at delivery was a further factor that strongly contributed to a high W-DEQ score.. Our main hypothesis was that labour dystocia would be associated with a negative experience of childbirth, but this was not confirmed by the study results. The results may contradict other studies describing a correlation between labour dystocia and a poor labour experience for the woman [8, 10, 11, 23]. The definition of a dystocic labour in this study is set at two hours delay from the alert line in the partogram, as these were the guidelines in Sweden at the time of the data collection. As the definition of dystocia may be broad, T-tests were also performed with an extended labour progress as outcome (first stage , 17 h), [24] but no differences were identified with this ...

As midwives, we love to come together and learn from one another. Where else can midwives share insights and experiences unique to our experiences as midwives.

Fetal abnormality: breed-associated, random, fetal death (?). Diagnosis. Physical and reproduction examination, digital rectal, abdominal palpation, vaginal cytology, hematology, biochemistry, blood gas and electrolytes, imaging.. Management. Deliver any pup in the birth canal; diagnostic workup; correct any fluid, electrolyte, calcium, and glucose imbalances. Caesarian section is indicated if medical management will not result in timely delivery of live pups. Uterine ecbolics are indicated in special circumstances only. Oxytocin is misused, with excess causing tetanic and unproductive uterine contractions, placental separation and fetal hypoxia. Oxytocin stimulates smooth muscle contraction by increasing sodium permeability of uterine myofibrils. Oxytocin affects the rate of influx of calcium into myometrial cells and requires adequate extracellular calcium concentration. Oxytocin is contraindicated for obstructive dystocia, closed cervix, fetal distress, systemic bitch illness, placental ...

The most significant observations of the study were the negative findings. No still births or neonatal deaths were reported. Not a single infant suffered Erb palsy, either transient or permanent, and no newborns experienced seizures, hemorrhage, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, cerebral palsy, or fractured clavicle. No patients required any tocolytic medication during labor. No vaginal, cervical, or uterine lacerations occurred. No women required transfusions. And no cases of postpartum, ileus or pulmonary embolus were reported. Overall, the maternal complication associated with the use of the Gaskin Maneuver was 1.2 percent (one case of postpartum hemorrhage, transfusion not required), and the neonatal complication rate was 4.9 percent. . . None of these patients required any additional maneuvers. . . Not only was the Gaskin Maneuver instrumental in relieving shoulder impact in every instance, it is also a non-invasive procedure requiring only a change of maternal position. The average time ...

This is a dangerous situation for mother and baby, as umbilical cord may be compressed if it is wrapped around the neck, preventing baby from getting adequate oxygen. Further, both mom and baby may experience exhaustion, trauma (including uterine rupture), and death if this situation is unresolved.. During a normal, vaginal birth, whomever is helping mom birth the baby should apply a gentle downward pressure on the babys head to help deliver the shoulders during a contraction - either immediately after the head is born or on the next contraction if babys nose and mouth can be suctioned while the body is still in the birth canal. This gentle downward pressure should be sufficient to help babys shoulder disengage from the pelvis and baby should slide out quickly (catch!). If baby stays stuck despite gentle downward pressure on the head, shoulder dystocia may be the problem.. Fortunately, shoulder dystocia is not a death sentence. There are a number of maneuvers that can help get that kiddo ...

Calving difficulty, technically called dystocia, is a major cause of death loss in cow-calf herds. Studies indicate that dystocia is responsible for 33 percent of all calf losses and 15.4 percent of beef cattle breeding losses ...

In female rats given oral doses of 1, 4, or 16 mg/kg/day beginning 14 days before mating and continuing through lactation, maternal deaths were observed at the time of delivery in all dose groups (≥3 times human exposure at the recommended daily oral dose of 2.5 mg or ≥1 times human exposure at the recommended once-monthly oral dose of 150 mg, based on AUC comparison). Perinatal pup loss in dams given 16 mg/kg/day (45 times human exposure at the recommended daily oral dose of 2.5 mg and 13 times human exposure at the recommended once-monthly oral dose of 150 mg, based on AUC comparison) was likely related to maternal dystocia. In pregnant rats given oral doses of 6, 20, or 60 mg/kg/day during gestation, calcium supplementation (32 mg/kg/day by subcutaneous injection from gestation day 18 to parturition) did not completely prevent dystocia and periparturient mortality in any of the treated groups (≥16 times human exposure at the recommended daily oral dose of 2.5 mg and ≥4.6 times human ...

Thank you for posting this. I had a c-section with my first baby seven years ago. I was warned by my OB that since I was so big, 330, and had more fatty tissue in my vagina that I could put my baby in jeopardy trying to deliver him naturally. She told me that i could break his collarbone, dislocate his shoulders or he could just get stuck. I went against my gut and allowed myself to be induced 3 weeks early. When my doctor came in to check on me after the first couple of hours, she broke my water with out my consent and the clock started ticking. After 24 hours of labor, I was so close and my doctor ordered me into an emergency c-section because my water had been broken for too long, putting my baby at risk. Adding insult to injury, I had not had any pain medicine (im kind of granola). The anesthesiologist came in to give me the epidural and took one look at me and said that it is really tricky to do on such a fluffy girl. I begged for her to try. She told me that she was going to give me ...

The 4 parental relationship variables in the measurement are: quarrelling with mother, quarrelling with father, talking to mother about things that matter and talking to father about things that matter. Children who quarrelled with their mother or father more than once a week in 2011 to 2012 reported average total difficulties scores of 13.3 and 13.1 respectively. This compares with average scores of 9.5 and 9.8 for those children who reported quarrelling with their mother or their father less than once a week. Figure 2 illustrates the proportions of children with high or very high total difficulties scores according to how frequently they quarrelled with or talked to each of their parents. Children who quarrelled more than once a week with their mother were around 3 times more likely to report a high or very high score (24%) than those who quarrelled less than once a week (8%). Similarly, children who quarrelled with their father more than once a week were more than twice as likely to report a ...

The weeks leading up to the big day were a little crazy for me pregnancy-wise. You can read about of that here. Between a maternity triage visit, extra OB appointments and regular OB appointments I got bounced around quite a bit through the multiple doctors at the OB practice that I go to. All along throughout my pregnancy, the doctors would read my chart and give me their own little scenario for how the end of the pregnancy could potentially go based on the labor and delivery with Lainey. Lainey was not only a large baby (9 lb 4 oz and 9 days late!) but she had large shoulders (shoulder dystocia) which complicated things and actually could have been a lot worse. Since subsequent babies tend to be larger than the one before, they wanted to keep an eye on my measurements and do an ultrasound toward the end to see just how big little mister was going to be. On November 1st, I finally saw the doctor who delivered Lainey and the one that I would say Im most familiar with and the one I trust and ...

Shoulder dystocia can be diagnosed before the baby is born. Physicians can do so by doing an ultrasound for the fetus. In case of mothers, if a mother is diabetic the physician knows about this beforehand. Shoulder dystocia is a cause of birth injury. It is possible for shoulder dystocia to be caused by the negligence of the attending medical professional.

Previous studies indicate that childhood sexual abuse has long term implications to womens psychological and physical well-being; among them, depression, a plethora of gynecological symptoms and labor dystocia. Literature in the field also suggests that childhood sexual abuse may be a contributing factor to total and/or partial vaginismus: psycho-sexual disorders associated with significant difficulty and pain during attempted penetration, pelvic examinations and/or sexual relations.. The proposed quantitative longitudinal study aims to develop a theoretical model explicating the relationships between: childhood sexual abuse, prenatal and postpartum partial vaginismus, and childbirth (labor dystocia versus no labor dystocia); including their associations with depression as a mediating variable. Questionnaire responses of pregnant women (Hebrew/Arabic speakers) from the Hillel-Yaffe medical center in Israel will be included in the study..

Shoulder dystocia can also cause maternal medical complications, such as severe vaginal, cervix, or rectum lacerations, bladder bruising, uterine rupture, or hemorrhaging.. Fortunately, shoulder dystocia is often preventable, as many of the risk factors for the condition-such as maternal diabetes, a small maternal pelvis, or a massive baby-can be addressed during prenatal care. Early detection allows a doctor to schedule a cesarean section procedure, if necessary.. However, if the doctor fails to note relevant risk factors and substantially deviates from the accepted standard of care during prenatal care or in the delivery room, they may be liable for damages if birth injuries occur as a result.. Depending on the severity of the shoulder dystocia injury and its estimated long-term effects, shoulder dystocia birth injury victims may be entitled to a wide range of damages that include compensation for:. ...

It is estimated that as many as eight out of every 1,000 babies suffer brachial plexus birth injuries. Out of that number, the majority are caused by a birth complication called shoulder dystocia - a condition in which the babys head is delivered, but the shoulders get trapped behind the pubic bone. The injury occurs when the brachial plexus nerves on either side of the babys neck are stretched. In the most extreme case, an avulsion, the nerve is actually torn from the spinal cord, causing permanent neurological damage. Brachial plexus damage may lead to Erbs palsy, Klumkes palsy or Horners syndrome.. In fact, shoulder dystocia is not uncommon, and not every case of shoulder dystocia leads to a serious injury - provided the physician, midwife or nurse knows what to look for and how to proceed. But, what if, through negligence, carelessness or lack of proper training, the healthcare professional fails to note this medical emergency and follow the proper standards of care?. If your baby ...

WHEC Practice Bulletin and Clinical Management Guidelines for healthcare providers. Educational grant provided by Womens Health and Education Center (WHEC). Shoulder dystocia is most often defined as a delivery that requires additional obstetric maneuvers following failure of gentle downward traction on the fetal head to effect delivery of the shoulders. It is most often an unpredictable and unpreventable obstetric emergency. Failure of the shoulders to deliver spontaneously places both the pregnant woman and fetus at risk for injury. Shoulder dystocia is caused by the impaction of the anterior fetal shoulder behind the maternal pubis symphysis. It also can occur from impaction of the posterior fetal shoulder on the sacral promontory. The reported incidence ranges from 0.6% to 1.4% among vaginal deliveries of fetuses in the vertex presentation. Several maneuvers to release impacted shoulders have been developed, and they are described below. The purpose of this chapter is to provide clinicians ...

Baby shoulder dystocia occurs when after the delivery of the head, the shoulder of a newborn gets stuck behind the mothers pelvic bone. Here are the FAQs for shoulder dystocia.

Structural traits in cattle tend to be highly heritable and pelvic area is no exception. This means there is a large genetic influence on pelvic area, which results in rapid response to selection. However, pelvic area is genetically correlated with many other traits, so selection for increased pelvic area alone can result in other traits changing for the worse. For example, selecting for increased pelvic area can result in increased birth weight and mature weight.. Pelvic measurements can be taken prior to the first breeding season and combined with a reproductive tract examination. Pelvic measurements should be used in addition to, not in place of, selection for size, weight, and above all, fertility. Producers should be aware that selection for pelvic area is likely to result in increased size of the entire skeleton and animal. Increased skeletal size of the dam will be reflected in higher birth weight and dimensions of the calf.. Pelvic measurements, on the other hand, can be used to ...

Calving difficulty or dystocia has a great economic impact in the US dairy industry. Reported risk factors associated with calving difficulty are feto-pelvic disproportion, gestation length and conformation. Different dairy cattle breeds have different incidence of calving difficulty, with Holstein having the highest dystocia rates and Jersey the lowest. Genomic selection becomes important especially for complex traits with low heritability, where the accuracy of conventional selection is lower. However, for complex traits where a large number of genes influence the phenotype, genome-wide association studies showed limitations. Biological networks could overcome some of these limitations and better capture the genetic architecture of complex traits. In this paper, we characterize Holstein, Brown Swiss and Jersey breed-specific dystocia networks and employ them in genomic predictions. Marker association analysis identified single nucleotide polymorphisms explaining the largest average proportion of

No properly conducted RCT has examined the benefit of universal or selective screening for gestational diabetes compared with no screening. Two RCTs have studied treatment versus no treatment of gestational diabetes in screening-detected populations: one recent (ACHOIS [11]) and one conducted more than 4 decades ago (a study by OSullivan and colleagues [12]). Both of these trials randomly assigned participants to treatment or no treatment of gestational diabetes on the basis of a universal screening program approach. The ACHOIS reported that dietary management, glucose monitoring, and insulin treatment as needed in 1000 women with mild gestational diabetes diagnosed after 24 weeks gestation improved the composite neonatal outcome compared with no treatment (11). The composite outcome was defined as one or more of the following: death, shoulder dystocia, bone fracture, and nerve palsy. The majority of the actual outcomes summed in this composite outcome were shoulder dystocia, an outcome not ...

Until recently, Erbs palsy has been attributed to damage during birth caused by the birth attendant stretching the nerves of the brachial plexus. A review by Sandmire and DeMott concludes that the condition is a consequence of propulsive forces during birth, and that birth attendants have been unjustly blamed for outcomes over which they have no control.. The authors propose that the damage to the brachial plexus takes place between contractions during the second stage of labor, particularly if the leading shoulder does not move. Contractions plus maternal pushing provide strong propulsive forces that are followed by significant retractive forces. Propulsive and retractive forces are each capable of damaging the nerves, but significant damage is most likely to occur when these forces are combined. About one half of cases of Erbs palsy occur in deliveries without shoulder dystocia. The infants in these cases are smaller than infants in cases associated with shoulder dystocia, and the palsy is ...

There have been many studies on perinatal and postnatal mortality in calves, but most are limited to small numbers of breeds or herds. The goal of this study was to determine the perinatal (first 24 h) and postnatal mortality rates during the first four months in 22 breeds and cross-breeds commonly occurring in Switzerland and to identify possible risk factors. From 2005 to 2007, 2,122,184 calvings were analysed, which yielded an overall perinatal mortality rate of 2.4%. There was a significant yearly increase in the mortality rate. The postnatal mortality rates from days 2 to 7, 8 to 28 and 29 to 120 were 0.5%, 1.3% and 0.7%, respectively.

Results 1164 (78%) women had T1DM and 328 (22%) T2DM; T2DM increased from 8.9% (1996-2000) to 32.1% (2005-2008) (p=0.01). Mean (SD) birth weight was 3437 g (±755). 335 (23%) babies weighed ≥4000 g. The rate of LGA was 49.3% and SGA 2.9% and did not change over time (LGA 50.9%, 1996-2000, 47.7%, 2005-2008; SGA 3.5%, 1996-2000, 2.9%, 2005-2008; p=0.73). LGA babies were more likely to be preterm (60.3% vs 37.2%, p=0.001), delivered by caesarean section (53.5% vs 43.3%, p=0.001), admitted to special care (56.5% vs 40.7%, p=0.001) and to develop shoulder dystocia (85.7% vs 11.9%, p= 0.001) than babies of normal weight for gestational age.. ...

so, this has been a very busy last few weeks. three weeks ago, i was measuring 40 cm in fundal height at my midwife appointment, and it was week 36, so the fundal height shouldve been 36 cm. the midwife recommended that i get an ultrasound to check on the size of the baby. i was hesitant to get one at first, because ultrasounds that late in the pregnancy tend to be really inaccurate. however, i changed my mind. so, at 37 weeks, the ultrasound showed that Junior was 8lbs, 14 oz. it also showed a huge torso/shoulder area, which is common in gestational diabetes babies. this can cause shoulder dystocia in labor - where the shoulders get stuck in delivery. sometimes it causes permanent paralysis. at that point, the midwife & perinatologist told me to just wait to go into labor, but if i hadnt delivered by my due date and an ultrasound showed his weight to be 5000g or above, theyd recommend a planned c-section. they also both told me to go back to testing the blood sugar levels 4 times a day. i ...

Not sure if that was me or not but I have been deworming shortly after birth for years now. My mare had a dystocia this year and it was touch and go there for a little while.

This is to check for colon cancer that may have spread. The Wed. after that (May 12th), I meet with my oncologist. My meeting with Dr. J was supposed to be just for the colon cancer, but now we will also be talking about the next steps for the breast cancer.
