Coexistence of complete mole and a live fetus is uncommon (1:22,000-100,000), more so with euploidy. ⋯ Detailed anatomic and molecular studies demonstrated a complete mole resulting from confined placental mosaicism, with molar tissue showing a single paternal allele at 8/8 informative loci, all shared with the fetus, thus this coexistent molar pregnancy was not that of a separate conceptus.

To obtain quantitative data on uterine contractility postpartum and compare the response of intramuscular oxytocin to carbetocin. ⋯ IUPT monitoring generated quantitative data on postpartum uterine activity. When compared to high-dose oxytocin, a low dose of carbetocin has a more prolonged effect on uterine activity both in terms of a higher amplitude and frequency of contractions.

To determine whether obstetric handoff quality differs morning versus evening, weekend versus weekday, or based on provider type. ⋯ Based on criteria developed for this study, handoff quality may vary based on time of day and provider type. These findings present an opportunity to further assess reasons for variation and propose changes to standardize and improve the handoff process.
