“…High prepregnancy weight and high pregnancy weight gain are also associated with several perinatal adverse outcomes such as brachial palsy, fracture of the clavicle, shoulder dystocia, meconium aspiration and low Apgar score 13 . In the last decades, changes in obstetric practices have aimed to prevent these complications, especially using induction of labour and caesarean section before labour 14,15 . These changes in obstetric practices, in addition to changes in other factors such as maternal age, gestational age, parity, prepregnancy weight, maternal country of origin and smoking status, may also have influenced time trends in birthweight.…”

“…10,11 The many reasons cited for increasing CS rates include maternal, fetal variables and intrapartum events. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] However, medical reasons alone form an inadequate explanation of this upward trend, as with determined efforts, CS rates can be maintained at a constant level or even reduced without an apparent increase in morbidity. 25,26 The current absence of a clear understanding of the pressures which drive this phenomenon results in a need to clearly document the existing situation and to partition the influences into known versus unknown.…”
