Q

Gestational diabetes

A

BMI >30kg/m2
Previous gestational diabetes

17
Q

Labour process

A

1) Cervix dilates and head flexes and descends further into pelvis
2) Head rotates at the level of the ischial spine so occiput lies in anterior pelvis
3) Head is born, shoulders still lie transversely in mid-pelvis
4) Birth of anterior shoulder - shoulders rotate to lie in anteroposterior diameter of the pelvic outlet. Head rotates externally, to its direction at onset of labour
5) Birth of posterior should is aided by lifting the head upwards
