It is unclear which risk factors confer increased risk of cesarean among pregnancies with Type 2 diabetes or early gestational diabetes. Given the increased maternal risks associated with cesarean delivery, a better understanding of risk factors for unplanned cesarean delivery may improve patient care and reduce delivery complications among this high\u2010risk population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The objective of this study was to identify risk factors for unplanned primary cesarean delivery among pregnant individuals with Type 2 diabetes or diabetes diagnosed early in pregnancy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Study design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was a secondary analysis of the Medical Optimization and Management of Pregnancies with Overt Type 2 Diabetes (MOMPOD) randomized controlled trial.
