This episode we will summarize 2publications which have recently been released. One is from the American Journal of Perinatology (September 2025 ) and the other is from the AJOG (August 2025 ). Does a primary C-section on a laboring uterus have a different risk of PAS in the subsequent pregnancy compared to a non-labored uterus? And what is the percentage of patients who experience “pain” at time of C-section? Listen in for the surprising data.
