Abstract
Similar to normal-weight women, the indication of cesarean for failure to progress or cephalopelvic disproportion was the major factor contributing to the increase in primary cesarean in obese women, but was even more prevalent with increasing obesity class. The rates of intrapartum primary cesarean prior to achieving active labor increased with increasing obesity class in nulliparous women.
