Neonates who were liveborn and delivered at \u226534 weeks' gestation were included. The primary outcome was respiratory morbidity defined as respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) or transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) resulting in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission. Neonates born after labor (either spontaneous or induced) were compared with those delivered by cesarean delivery without labor. Associations between labor and neonatal morbidities were estimated using logistic regression. Covariates were adjusted for if they differed significantly between neonates exposed to and not exposed to labor (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) and there was biologic plausibility that they would affect neonatal respiratory morbidity.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003Of the 581 neonates meeting study inclusion criteria, 23.2% delivered without exposure to labor. Those who did and did not experience labor delivered at similar gestational ages (38.6 vs. 38.4 weeks). Thirty-six neonates (6.2%) developed RDS or TTN and were admitted to the NICU. Exposure to labor was associated with a lower frequency of respiratory morbidity requiring admission to NICU, 4.9% (22\/446) versus 10.4% (14\/135) (p\u2009=\u20090.04). After adjusting for parity, body mass index, birth weight, gestational weight gain more than Institute of Medicine guidelines, race, and exposure to labor were associated with an adjusted odds ratio of 0.41 (95% confidence interval: 0.18\u20130.89).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003Exposure to labor was associated with decreased odds of respiratory morbidity in neonates born to mothers with GDM.
