It is safer to postpone IUD insertion until 6 months after delivery.

A well integrated, population-based scoring will decrease the number of unnecessary testing but still diagnose 85-100% of GDM cases.

It is safer to postpone IUD insertion until 6 months after delivery.

Abnormal fetal presentation, multiparity, low birth weight, prematurity, polyhydramnios, and spontaneous rupture of membranes, in particular with high Bishop scores, are risk factors for umbilical cord prolapse. Early amniotomy increases the variable decelerations and hence increases the rate of cesarean section because of fetal distress, but it may prevent pregnant women from umbilical cord prolapse, which has a high mortality rate. However, large randomized trials are needed to prove that early amniotomy decreases the incidences of umbilical cord prolapse.
