Popis: Our aim was to estimate the obstetric outcome of second delivery in women with normal glucose tolerance whose first fetus was macrosomic (fetal weight/= 4,500 g).Primiparas delivering a macrosomic infant during the years 1997-2000 were identified from a hospital computer database, and the obstetric outcome of a second delivery was analyzed up until June 2003. A control group (birth weight 3,000-3,500 g) served for comparison.Among 13,020 first pregnancies, 301 (2.3%) were macrosomic. A similar proportion in the macrosomic group, 156 of 301 (52%), and control group, 171 of 300 (57%), returned for second delivery (P = .252). Compared with controls, first macrosomic deliveries were characterized by higher rates of operative delivery, anal sphincter injury, and shoulder dystocia. At second delivery, 32% of neonates in the macrosomic group and 0.3% in the control group weighed 4,500 g or more (P.001). More prelabor cesareans were performed in the macrosomic group compared with controls (27 of 156, 17.3%, compared with 8 of 171, 4.7%; P.001). Among 104 women in the macrosomic group who labored after first vaginal delivery, 99% (103 of 104) delivered vaginally again compared with 44% (11 of 25) who labored after primiparous cesarean delivery (P.001), which compares with 97% (146 of 150) and 77% (10 of 13), respectively, in the control group.Despite a one-third recurrence of macrosomia, first vaginal delivery of a macrosomic infant was associated with a high incidence of second vaginal delivery. Conversely, primiparous macrosomic cesarean delivery conveyed a high risk (56%) for repeat intrapartum cesarean whether macrosomia recurred or not.II-2.
