Helena Parkington of Monash University’s School of Biomedical Sciences and Shaun Brennecke of the Royal Women’s Hospital (RWH) and University of Melbourne have published a new study in the "Nature Communications" journal. Based on uterine tissue samples from 70 RWH patients who gave birth by caesarean section, it argues that those who are overweight may be less able to go into labour. Obese women have difficulty reacting when electrical signals in the uterine muscle cells cease that prevent premature labour
