    Abstract Although the optimal length of the second stage of labor to minimize maternal and neonatal morbidities and optimize spontaneous vaginal delivery is not known, available evidence suggests that increasing length of the second stage is associated with increasing maternal and neonatal morbidity. Thus, evidence-based strategies to safely shorten the second stage, such as initiating pushing when complete dilation is reached among those with neuraxial anesthesia, is prudent. Many aspects of optimal management of the second stage of labor require future study to continue to guide clinical second-stage management.

    Abstract Objective:  Following the release of A Randomized Trial of Induction versus Expectant Management (ARRIVE) trial, the induction of labor at 39 weeks has increased in the United States. The risk of uterine rupture and optimal timing of elective induction in those patients with a prior cesarean delivery is not well-described, and they were not included in the original trial. We aimed to determine the risk of uterine rupture in those patients undergoing elective induction of labor with prior cesarean delivery.
    Study design:  This was a retrospective cohort of participants with prior cesarean delivery from 1996 to 2000. Participants were included if they had two or more prior cesareans. Participants were excluded if they had a history of an unknown prior incision, a classical incision, gestational age <39 weeks, any diabetes, chronic hypertension, twin gestation, collagen or vascular disease, or HIV. Those undergoing expectant management were compared with those undergoing elective induction with no medical or obstetrical indications for delivery. Analysis was performed at three gestational age groups: 39 weeks, 40 weeks, and 41 weeks. The primary outcomes were uterine rupture, rates of successful vaginal delivery, and a composite major morbidity risk. Multivariable logistic regression was performed.
    Results:  At 39 weeks, 618 (10.3%) elective inductions were compared with 5,365 (89.7%) undergoing expectant management; uterine rupture occurred more frequently (13 patients [2.1%] vs. 49 patients [0.9%]; adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.5; 95% confidence interval, 1.3-4.6) with fewer successful vaginal birth after cesarean [VBAC; 66.8 vs. 75%; aOR, 0.6; 95% confidence interval, 0.5-0.7]. The risk of uterine rupture was similar between groups at 40 weeks (5 patients [0.8%] vs. 21 patients [1.2%];
    Conclusion:  Patients undergoing elective induction of labor with a prior cesarean scar had an increased risk of uterine rupture when compared with expectant management at 39 weeks, with fewer successful VBAC.
    Key points: · TOLAC elective induction at 39 weeks has an increased risk of uterine rupture.. · TOLAC elective induction at 39 weeks has a less successful chance of vaginal delivery.. · Awaiting spontaneous labor in this cohort does not increase the risk of uterine rupture..

    Abstract Background: Patients with obesity experience an increased duration of labor with an increased risk for perinatal morbidity. When compared with parturients without obesity, they also experience fewer uterine contractions after administration of misoprostol. It is unclear if the same dose of misoprostol should be used for induction of labor in patients with obesity compared to non-obese patients. Therefore, we sought to investigate if a higher dose of misoprostol for patients with obesity is more effective.
    Objective: This study aimed to determine if 50 μg compared with 25 μg of vaginal misoprostol reduced the time from induction start to delivery among patients with obesity.
    Study design: We performed a double-blinded, pragmatic randomized controlled trial, between June 1, 2022, and July 17, 2023. Patients with a body mass index ≥30 kg/m
    Results: Of the 180 patients randomized, 88 were assigned to the 25 μg group and 92 were assigned to the 50 μg group. Of those, 96.1% of patients received the designated intervention. The baseline characteristics were similar between groups. No difference was found in the primary outcome of time to delivery (21.6 hours vs 18.6 hours; d=.28; 95% confidence interval, -0.02 to 0.57). In a planned subgroup analysis, multiparous patients delivered faster in the 50 μg group (15.2 hours vs 12.0 hours; d=.51; 95% confidence interval, 0.04-0.97). The risk for tachysystole associated with fetal heart tracing changes was rare overall (2.2%) and not significantly different between groups. No differences in maternal or neonatal adverse effects were observed.
    Conclusion: Patients with obesity who underwent cervical ripening with 50 μg of vaginal misoprostol experienced a similar time to delivery when compared with those who received 25 μg of misoprostol. However, multiparous patients had a significantly reduced time to delivery when 50 μg was used. A higher dose of misoprostol may be a promising intervention for reducing time in labor, which warrants further study.
