Association of adverse pregnancy outcomes with glyburide vs insulin in women with gestational diabetes.
The purpose of this study was to estimate the risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes among women receiving glyburide compared with insulin for the treatment of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in a US population-based cohort. It found an association between glyburide (compared with insulin) and elevated risk of NICU admission, neonatal hypoglycemia, respiratory distress, birth injury, and large for gestational age in women with GDM.

Chronic hypertension in pregnancy and the risk of congenital malformations: a cohort study.
The researchers sought to examine the effect of chronic hypertension on the risk of congenital malformations in a large cohort of pregnancies in Medicaid beneficiaries. In a cohort of 878,126 pregnancies, they found that both treated and untreated maternal chronic hypertension were associated with a similar 20-30 percent increase in the risk of congenital malformations in the infant after adjusting for confounding factors as compared with normotensive controls.

Breastfeeding in African Americans may not depend on sleep arrangement: a mixed-methods study.
The researchers described the association between breastfeeding and bedsharing, elucidating barriers to breastfeeding in African Americans. They found that lower socioeconomic status mothers were more likely to breastfeed exclusively or at all if they bedshared; however, bedsharing was not associated with breastfeeding among higher socioeconomic status mothers. Breast pain, lack of support, and maternal skepticism about breastfeeding benefits were barriers.
