Symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder are Associated with Altered Glucose Parameters in Early and Late Gestation
Conclusion Higher PTSD symptoms were associated with greater insulin secretion over pregnancy in this sample. More research is needed to replicate these findings and evaluate the effects of treatment of PTSD on mitigating the risk for gestational diabetes.

Morbidity of Repeat Cesarean Delivery after a Trial of Labor as Compared with Elective Repeat Cesarean Delivery
Conclusion For women with one prior CD the morbidity of repeat cesarean after labor is not more than the morbidity of planned repeat CD. Our study can be helpful in delivery planning counseling for patients with one prior CD.

Maternal Well-Being in Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Practices: Findings from the ROLO Study
Conclusion Our findings indicated 25% of pregnant women in the first trimester reported low well-being scores. Associations between maternal well-being and breastfeeding patterns were explained by maternal age and education level, suggesting low mood may not be a barrier to breastfeeding initiation or duration.

Serum ADAMTS-9 Level in Newborn Babies with Congenital Heart Disease
Conclusion In conclusion, it was found that the serum ADAMTS-9 levels were significantly higher in newborns with CHD than in healthy newborns. In parallel, ADAMTS-9 levels above a certain cut-off value were associated with CHD.

Risk of Severe Maternal Morbidity in Patients with Placenta Accreta Spectrum Disorders Referred from Rural Communities to a Regional Placenta Accreta Spectrum Center
Conclusion Patients with PAS experience high rates of SMM. Geographic distance to a PAS center appears to significantly impact the overall morbidity a patient experiences. Further research is warranted to address this disparity and optimize patient outcomes for patients in rural communities

Maternal Sex Chromosome Aneuploidy Identified through Noninvasive Prenatal Screening: Clinical Profile and Patient Experience
Conclusion Follow-up counseling and testing after a high-risk NIPS result suggestive of maternal SCA is heterogenous in this cohort and may be frequently incomplete. Health outcomes may be affected by these results and additional research could improve the provision, delivery, and quality of posttest counseling.

Cervicovaginal Microbial –Immune State and Group B Streptococcus Colonization in Pregnancy
Conclusion Pregnant individuals with CV microbiota characterized by CST IV-A and CST II had significantly elevated risk of GBS RV colonization in the third trimester compared with those with CST I, and β-defensin-2 was an effect modifier of the association between CST IV-A and GBS RV+ status. Future research should investigate if manipulation of the CV microbiota can prevent GBS colonization, thereby reducing intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis and the risks of neonatal GBS infection.

Risk Factors for Prolonged Intertwin Delivery Interval and Associated Maternal and Second Twin Morbidity
Conclusion Prolonged IDI is associated with an increased risk for neonatal acidemia and low 5-minute Apgar score, and with an increased rate of cesarean delivery, placental abruption, and hemoglobin drop ≥ 3 g/dL. Advanced maternal age, nulliparity, and twin birth weight ratio ≥ 1.2 are associated with prolonged IDI.
