Risk Factors for Complications During Pregnancy
Genital Tract Abnormalities
Structural abnormalities of the uterus and cervix(eg, uterine septum, bicornuate uterus) make the following more likely: Spontaneous abortion during the 2nd trimester Fetal Presentation, Position, and Lie (Including Breech Presentation) None Preterm labor or delivery Etiology None The need for Cesarean Delivery None Uterine Fibroids None Cervical Insufficiency None If, before pregnancy, women have had a myomectomy in which the uterine cavity was entered, cesarean delivery is required because Uterine Rupture is a risk during subsequent vaginal delivery. Uterine abnormalities that lead to poor obstetric outcomes often require surgical correction, which is done after delivery.
