Intervention in labour and delivery has increased dramatically in recent years, but we are increasingly concerned that many interventions may be overused in some instances. This may have adverse consequence for newborn health as well as increased costs for the healthcare system. As the optimal use of these interventional tools is unknown, I am exploring areas these areas of obstetrical intervention in high risk pregnancy.
