Association of Prostaglandin Use for Cervical Ripening with Mode of Delivery in Small for Gestational Age versus Non–Small for Gestational Age Neonates

Bridges et al.

Prostaglandins (PGs) use for cervical ripening with small for gestational age (SGA) fetuses is controversial since it remains uncertain if use increases the chance of cesarean delivery (CD). We aimed to assess the association between PG use for cervical ripening and mode of delivery between SGA and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) neonates.

Dispositional Optimism, Mode of Delivery, and Perceived Labor Control among Recently Delivered Parturients

Ayala et al.

Dispositional optimism (DO) is an understudied transdiagnostic resilience factor among peripartum individuals. Low DO is associated with increased fear and pain in labor and increased rates of emergent cesarean delivery, but it is unknown whether DO is associated with perceived control over the labor process.
