Abstract
Increases in prepregnancy BMI between first 2 pregnancies from normal to obese is associated with increased risk of indications for primary cesarean. The association between being overweight or obese or increases in prepregnancy BMI between pregnancies and primary cesarean in the second pregnancy suggests that counseling women with regard to their high BMI may be beneficial.
